Why the study?
To demonstrate the real-world burden attributed to high LDL-C at global, regional, and national levels, across different age groups, and between genders.
High LDL-C contributes considerably to the global health burden, with absolute numbers of deaths and DALYs increasing from 1990 to 2019, particularly affecting males, older age groups, and lower Socio-demographic Index regions.
