Total cholesterol level at more than 5.2mmol/l accounts for average of 12.4%; triglycerid level at more than 2.3mmol/l accounts for average of 19.9% and HDL cholesterol at less than 0.9mmol/l makes 26.4%. The rates are highest in older population. These indices have high rate in town areas, followed by coastal areas and lowest in interior field areas.
