(a) Comparison of mean lipid levels among Indian expatriates in Qatar with other studies on Indian residents in India. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-C are higher in men in this study, while HDL-C is lower from studies in 2014 and lower from the 2016 study. (b) Comparison of prevalence of dyslipidemia in Indian expatriates with Indian residents in India. The prevalence of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-C dyslipidemia is high among Indian men in this study. Women expatriates showed lower prevalence from 2016 study and higher from 2015 to 2014.
