title: Risks for hyperlipidemia.
abstract: The predisposition for the development of hyperlipidemia rests almost equally on genetic and environmental factors and their interplay. Because one of the least understood factors is the duration of exposure to risk, the authors have chosen to review here some of the genetic factors and some of the relatively long-term environmental factors, such as diet and drug therapies, that are known to increase the risk of hyperlipidemia and likely the predisposition to cardiovascular disease.
