Overview
For 2009–2010, 21.3% of adults aged 20 and over had low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL). The percentage of adults with low HDL cholesterol was higher for men (31.4%) than for women (11.9%). Percentages among men were also higher than those among women of the same racial and ethnic group. For men, the percentage with low HDL cholesterol was lower among non-Hispanic black men than non-Hispanic white or Hispanic men. No racial or ethnic differences were found among women in the percentage with low HDL cholesterol.[1]
Low HDL Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- In 2009–2010, 21.3% of adults aged 20 years and over had low HDL cholesterol level (less than 40 mg/dL) in the United States.
Gender
- During 2009–2010, approximately 31% of men and 12% of women had low levels of HDL cholesterol. Percentages among men were also higher than those among women of the same racial and ethnic group.[2]
Shown below are diagrams depicting the prevalence of low HDL cholesterol by age group and sex in the United States between 2009 and 2010 (Source:CDC.gov).
Race
- For men, the percentage with low HDL cholesterol was lower among non-Hispanic black men than non-Hispanic white or Hispanic men.[2]
- No racial or ethnic differences were found among women in the percentage with low HDL cholesterol.[2]
