Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypercholesterolemia by insurance status and type. Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypercholesterolemia are provided for uninsured adults and for those with private or public healthcare insurance. P values represent the significance of changes over the 3 NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys) time periods within each of the 3 groups. Prevalence was highest in the publicly insured, lowest in the uninsured, and intermediate in the privately insured over time. Awareness, treatment, and control were all significantly lower among uninsured than the insured groups for all time periods. Awareness, treatment, and control were similar in publicly and privately insured adults at each time period.
