A serial 4-year cross-sectional study of dyslipidemia on Pamirs Plateau, the roof of the world

This first comprehensive analysis from "the roof of the world" reveals unique lipid patterns, including low LDL-C levels, pandemic-era fluctuations, ethnic disparities, unique age-sex patterns, and a paradoxical association between improved living conditions and increased dyslipidemia risk. These insights should inform context-specific lipid management strategies for this and similar vulnerable high-altitude populations globally.
