THE PREVALENCE OF DYSLIPIDEMIA, DIABETES, HYPERTENSION, STROKE AND ANGINA PECTORIS IN THE PHILIPPINES SPONSORS: Food and Nutrition Research Institute Department of Health Philippine Society of Hypertension Philippine Diabetes Association Philippine Lipid Society 1998
OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride), fasting blood sugar on a sub-sample of Filipinos; 2. To determine the prevalence of hypertension, angina, and stroke on a sub-sample of Filipinos; 3. To determine the prevalence of smoking of Filipinos.
METHODOLOGY Study Population and Sampling Scheme This study covered all the provinces of the Philippines and employed a two-stage stratified sampling design. The final sample size comprised 4,541 individuals aged 20 years or more.

Results PREVALENCE OF SMOKING AMONG FILIPINOS (20 yrs. or above, N=4,541) Non Smoker (%) Ex-Smoker (%) Current Cigar Smoker (%) Current Cigarette Smoker (sticks/day) 1-14 (%) 15-24(%) > 25(%) 54.5 12.8 21.8 8.6 1.2 1.1
Conclusions 1. The biochemical data discloses extremely surprising low levels of total cholesterol (159 mg/dl), LDL cholesterol (107 mg/dl), HDL cholesterol(30mg/dl) and triglycerides (116 mg/dl). This observation implies that the prevalence of dyslipidemia among Filipinos may be much lower than expected. 2. The prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia in this study is 4%. 3. The prevalence of smoking in the Philippines continues to be alarmingly high. The latest survey shows that 45.5% of Filipinos have a history of smoking with 32% being current smokers. 4. The prevalence of hypertension (17%), angina (13%), and stroke (6.6%) are lower compared to data from other studies.
