Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) accounts for 30% of deaths at all ages in the Philippines. On the same report, there has also been an increasing trend in metabolic risk factors namely; mean systolic blood pressure, mean body mass index and cholesterol. Although CVD have heterogeneous etiologies,environmental factors, including diet, play a major role in their development. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the asociation of Dietary Energy Density and Risk of Dyslipidemia among selected adults in the Philippines. Specifically, the study would like to characterize the adults across quartiles od Dietary Energy Density. Methods: The study utlized a cross-sectional, analytic design. The study collected information of dietary intake to assess the Dietary Energy Density. Furthermore, serum measurements were collected to anaylyze for serum lipids namely, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, Total cholesterol and trigycerides. Logistic regression was conducted to determine if there was an association between dietary energy density and risk to dyslipidemia. Results: Results of this study showed that the mean DED of the adult respondents was 1.89 (95% Cl: 1.86, 1.91). Women had higher (1.90 ± 0.32) DED as compared to men (1.85 ± 0.32). Controlling for the significant confounding effect of sex, income, smoking status, and total energy intake, there was no statistical association between the dietary energy density and dyslipidemia. Conclusion: Despite having not achieved sufficient evidence to prove the statisticd association of Dietary Energy Density (DED) with Dyslipidemia, there are promising results obtained in this study particularly in the characterization of DED quartiles which could be of paramount importance in understanding the characteristics of adults especially those who have dyslipidemia. This will be significant in the prevention of dyslipidemia.
