dc.descriptionResults: The primary outcome was dyslipidemia prevalence, defined using lipid profile abnormalities. Secondary outcomes included associations with modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle factors. Dyslipidemia prevalence was 66.1%, with males demonstrating higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and females exhibiting higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Significant risk factors included obesity, hypertension, diabetes, poor dietary habits, and physical inactivity. Older age groups exhibited higher dyslipidemia rates, with notable gender-specific differences in lipid profiles. Conclusions: The findings reveal a high burden of dyslipidemia in Al Ain, driven by modifiable risk factors. Public health interventions, including lifestyle modifications and routine lipid screening,
