Management of Diabetic Dyslipidemia in Indians: Expert Consensus Statement from the Lipid Association of India

An estimated 537 million adults aged 20-79 years worldwide have diabetes mellitus, almost all type 2 diabetes.1 In India, the burden of diabetes has been increasing steadily since 1990 but the pace accelerated after the year 2000, resulting in an increase in the prevalence of diabetes from 7.1% to 8.9% between 2009 and 2019. It is estimated that the number of individuals with diabetes in India will increase from 74 million in 2021 to more than 125 million in 2045,1 primarily driven by increasing rates of elevated body mass index (BMI) and the metabolic syndrome in association with visceral adiposity.
