Dyslipidaemia

Low HDL-C was the most frequent lipid abnormality in the study population. Females had higher age-standardised prevalence of dyslipidaemia than males. China's dyslipidaemia mortality rate (0.059%) exceeds the global average (0.047%). The positive personal income effect of dyslipidaemia is considerably stronger in males than in females. Dyslipidaemia is associated with a statistically significant increase in personal income (+0.078 log units) alongside a simultaneous decrease in household income (-0.049 log units). Men with dyslipidaemia in higher-earning roles likely face the metabolic consequences of their occupational and lifestyle environments, driving the stronger personal income link. Individuals with dyslipidaemia may be those whose higher-calorie diets reflect wealthier lifestyles and better workplace benefits, which could explain the personal income gain.
