By definition, dyslipidemia is a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism in terms of either lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency. It may be expressed by increased serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and/or triglycerides, a decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, and/or various combinations of such disorders. Lipoproteins, which contain lipids and proteins (apolipoproteins), are mainly responsible for transporting plasma lipids from the intestines and liver to peripheral tissues. Dyslipidemia has a complex pathophysiology consisting of various genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. It has many adverse health impacts, and has a pivotal role in the development of chronic non-communicable diseases. Significant ethnic differences exist due to the prevalence and types of lipid disorders. While elevated serum total and LDL-cholesterol are the main concern in Western populations, in other countries hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL- cholesterol are more prevalent. The latter types of lipid disorders are considered as components of the metabolic syndrome, which is a clustering of dyslipidemia, hypertension, dysglycemia, and obesity. The rapid escalating trend of obesity at global level, which is associated with obesogenic milieus through high-calorie intake and sedentary lifestyle, as well as the environmental factors, will result in increasing prevalence of dyslipidemia, and will make it a global medical and public health threat. This situation is not limited to adults, and the pediatric age group is being involved more and more. The results of longitudinal studies support the association of risk factors cluster in children and adolescents with future chronic diseases. However, the processes by which lipids and lipoproteins participate in the development of non-communicable diseases at different life stages continue to be an area of controversy. Several experimental and clinical research studies are being conducted regarding issues related to the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic modalities. X Preface The current book is providing a general overview of dyslipidemia from diverse aspects of pathophysiology, ethnic differences, prevention, health hazards, and treatment.
