Dyslipidemia is an abnormal concentration or composition of lipids and lipoproteins in the blood, encompassing elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or combinations thereof. It is a principal modifiable driver of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, arising from genetic predisposition, diet, adiposity, and metabolic disorders, and it is classified by the specific lipid fractions affected and by primary versus secondary etiology. In nutritional and cardiovascular research, dyslipidemia is studied through dietary and lifestyle modulation of lipid profiles, genetic determinants of lipid handling, and its clustering with other metabolic risk factors. The peer-reviewed work in this area reflects these concerns, including the association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with dyslipidemia in coronary artery disease, the efficacy of DHA and EPA on serum triglyceride levels, postprandial lipemia following high-fat meals, the management of metabolic syndrome with antioxidant micronutrients, plant-derived interventions in experimental models of obesity, and the lower prevalence of chronic-disease risk factors in vegetarian populations. Studies of coronary syndromes and vascular disease situate dyslipidemia within clinical cardiovascular outcomes. Methods span clinical lipid measurement, dietary and supplement intervention, genetic association, and observational analysis. This body of research treats dyslipidemia as a measurable, modifiable lipid disturbance central to cardiovascular risk and responsive to nutritional and metabolic intervention.
