Short-term incidence of dyslipidemia traits by urbanization and altitude: The CRONICAS Cohort Study

Purpose This prospective study evaluated the association between living at different degrees of urbanization and altitude with five different incident dyslipidemia traits. Methods Using baseline (2010) and follow-up data (~2.4 years later) of Peruvian adults (aged ≥35 years) from the CRONICAS Cohort Study, the incidence of each trait was separately analyzed. Outcomes were hypercholesterolemia (≥200 mg/dL), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-c] (≥130 mg/dL), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-c] (males
