Known, treated and controlled dyslipidemia in primary care. Known dyslipidemia is defined as either "lipid disorders yes" or "lipid lowering agent yes". Treated dyslipidemia is defined as "lipid lowering agent yes". Controlled dyslipidemia is defined as "lipid lowering agent yes" and lab values within the limits previously defined. Reference for each percent number given is the number of patients in the previous category, e.g. 11.9% of the 20.9% dyslipidemic patients in the age group 18–20 are known to be dyslipidemic by their treating physician.
