Abstract
ObjectiveWe aimed to assess the level of public awareness regarding dyslipidemia and its management among the Korean population.

MethodsWe conducted a web- or mobile-based survey study targeting the general population, using various recruitment methods, between July 25, 2022 and August 26, 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions designed to collect demographic information and evaluate participants¡¯ awareness and knowledge about dyslipidemia.

ResultsIn total, 2,882 participants who completed the survey were included in the analysis. Among the participants, a substantial majority (89.1%) were familiar with the concepts of ¡°good cholesterol¡± and ¡°bad cholesterol,¡± while a comparatively lower percentage (just 46.7%) were acquainted with the term ¡°dyslipidemia.¡± Noticeable variations in understanding were observed when examining specific aspects of dyslipidemia management, including diet, exercise, and pharmacotherapy.

ConclusionThe results of this survey underscore the significance of enhancing public awareness about dyslipidemia within the context of health literacy, demonstrating the necessity for a more comprehensive approach that includes education and policymaking to effectively manage dyslipidemia.
