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.
- A large survey has been set out to determine the prevalence of low HDL in 11 European countries. The study population included 8545 patients under the treatment for dyslipidemia. This treatment appeared to exert little or no effect on the prevalence of low HDL-cholesterol, which was slightly higher than that measured in the overall population. Low HDL-cholesterol was present in 33% of men and 40% of women, with very low HDL-cholesterol present in 14% (both genders combined). The prevalence was found much higher in diabetic patients compared to general population. [2]
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.[3]

Race
- For men, the percentage with low HDL cholesterol was lower among non-Hispanic black men than non-Hispanic white or Hispanic men.[3]
- No racial or ethnic differences were found among women in the percentage with low HDL cholesterol.[3]

Age
The percentage of adults with low HDL cholesterol declines with age for men and women.
