Abstract

Background: Dyslipidemia has large variations in populations. This systematic review, meta-analysis study assessed mean lipid profiles in Iran. Methods: We extracted data from all relevant published population-based studies or national surveys conducted in adults up to January 2014. Studies with <300 individuals, or in specific group diseases were excluded. Data were analyzed by random effect method. Results: Mean and 95% CI of total cholesterol (T-C), triglycerides (TG), low-, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C and HDL-C) in 27 eligible articles were estimated 195.7 (192.3-199.1), 169.8 (161.5-178.1), 120.5 (115.6-125.3) and 45.4 (43.2-47.6) mg/dl, respectively, among both sexes. Mean level of T-C, LDL-C and HDL-C in women were higher than men. Conclusion: Our findings are useful for international comparisons and planning national preventive programs. © 2015 Future Medicine Ltd.
