“…Curiously that finding did not occur in the comparison between eutrophic and obese individuals. The study by Souza et al 23 , which assessed the prevalence of dyslipidemia in other region of Brazil, showed a significant statistic difference in the prevalence among individuals with and without overweight. However, the same was not seen in relation to obesity.…”

“…Migration to urban centers and adoption of a sedentary lifestyle is likely related to rising lipid levels and prevalence of dyslipidemia [16]. Regional variations in the prevalence of dyslipidemia were previously reported in national and international studies [5][6][7][8]26,27] and may be due to other variables in addition to geographical location. The associations between dyslipidemia and male gender and advancing age detected in this study are in agreement with previous studies in the KSA [5][6][7][8] and other population-based and hospital-based studies [19,[21][22][23].…”

As for life habits, particularly alcoholic beverage consumption, findings were similar to two Brazilian studies in the same professional group (22)(23)(24) , but higher when compared with population-based studies in the South of Brazil (25) .…”
