Cholesterol, Triglyceride, and Glucose Levels Across Birth Cohorts in the US
In this cross-sectional study of 52 006 participants representing 264 664 915 US adults, population-level improvements in total cholesterol and triglyceride levels decelerated and adverse trends in glucose levels accelerated in more recent birth cohorts, which was partially mediated by concurrent increases in BMI. Public health initiatives that target antecedent health behaviors are needed to improve cardiometabolic health across generations.
