In a cohort free of CHD, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of dyslipidemia between blacks, Hispanics and non Hispanic whites. However the Hispanics were 20 % less likely to report drug therapy and blacks 15 % less likely . Also, these groups were 30 % less likely to have their lipids under control than their non Hispanic white counterparts \cite{Goff_2006}\cite{Leigh_2016}
