Ethnic and Sex Differences in the Prevalence, Treatment, and Control of Dyslipidemia Among Hypertensive Adults in the GENOA Study

Abstract

Dyslipidemia is highly prevalent in hypertensive adults. Fewer than one third of these adults are drug-treated, and fewer than half of those treated achieve recommended goals. Our findings suggest that an alarming 9 of 10 dyslipidemic hypertensive adults have untreated or undertreated dyslipidemia.
