AB  - Dyslipidemia is the leading population-level risk factor for ischemic heart disease in Africa. There were inadequate data regarding the prevalence and associated factors of dyslipidemia. So, this survey aimed to identify the prevalence and associated factors of dyslipidemia among participants aged 18 years and above in Addis Ababa city, capital of Ethiopia. This cross-sectional community-based survey was conducted from June to October 2018; in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. Participants 18 years of age and older were selected by using a multi-stage probability sampling method. The data was gathered through an in-person interview. The WHO phased-in approach was used for data collection. In addition, respondents' height, weight, waist, hip, blood pressure, and laboratory investigations were performed in keeping with standard procedures.
