Kit et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Dyslipidemia and adverse blood pressure (n=1,665). Survey period 2011-2012 vs. Survey period 1999-2000 was evaluated on Adverse concentration of total cholesterol (≥200 mg/dL) (p=0.006). Between 1999-2000 and 2011-2012, the prevalence of adverse total cholesterol concentrations among US youths decreased from 10.6% to 7.8%, while high or borderline high blood pressure remained stable.
