The prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults in Jordan was 81.6%, with obesity significantly associated with increased odds of the condition (AOR 2.47; 95% CI 1.55-3.94).
Why the study?
Dyslipidaemia is increasing with low awareness and treatment in low-resourced countries.

May signal gaps in dyslipidaemia screening and control in Jordan; leaves open effective strategies for low-resource settings.
Cross-Sectional (n=3,132)
Yes
Odds Ratio: 2.47 (95% CI 1.55–3.94)
Four out of five adults in Jordan have dyslipidemia, with extremely low awareness (9.3%) and poor control rates, highlighting a critical need for public health interventions.
Pengpid et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Dyslipidemia (n=3,132). Obesity vs. Non-obese was evaluated on Prevalence of dyslipidemia (AOR 2.47, 95% CI 1.55-3.94). The prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults in Jordan was 81.6%, with obesity significantly associated with increased odds of the condition (AOR 2.47; 95% CI 1.55-3.94).
