Abstract: Dyslipidemia, characterized by abnormal plasma lipid concentrations, is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. In India, rapid urbanization, lifestyle changes, dietary transitions, and rising obesity have contributed to an alarming increase in dyslipidemia prevalence. This review consolidates current knowledge on lipid metabolism, epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical implications, and public health strategies in the Indian context.
