The levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, apolipoprotein (APO) A1 and APO B were lower in Bai Ku Yao than those in Han nationalities (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in serum triglyceride levels and the ratio of Apo A1 to Apo B between two nationalities. Dyslipidemia was positively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, total energy and total fat intakes, and inversely correlated with degree of physical activity and total dietary fiber intake in both ethnic groups. In addition, dyslipidemia was also positively correlated with age and alcohol consumption in Han, but not in Bai Ku Yao.
