Prevalence, diagnosis and treatment rates for hypercholesterolaemia^a among adults in seven-country study of the management of diabetes and associated cardiovascular risk factors

^a Individuals with hypercholesterolaemia are assigned to one of four groups: (i) undiagnosed, (ii) diagnosed but not on treatment, (iii) diagnosed and on treatment but not meeting treatment targets, and (iv) diagnosed, on treatment and meeting treatment targets. The total height of the bars represents the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia in individuals with diabetes.

^c No information on previous diagnosis or current use of cholesterol-lowering medication was available for the Islamic Republic of Iran. The height of the bar represents the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia among individuals with diabetes.
