[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xhQV2O. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background. Obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) have increased in prevalence in Polynesian Western Samoans over the 13-year period 1978-1991, as the population undergoes an'epidemiological transition'Methods. We therefore investigated changes in the frequency of dyslipidaemia over the same period in adults aged 25-74 years, and examined factors associated with dyslipidaemia in cross-sectional and longitudinal data. Subjects were drawn from three geographically defined locations representing different degrees of modernization. Results. The age-standardized prevalence of dyslipidaemia increased in each location between 1978 (n=1197) and 1991 (n=1748), with the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia ( 5.5 mmol/l) increasing from 18% to 36% (P
