1. The paper reported the lipid profile in Chinese Yi people. 
2. The epidemiology study looks at the impact of migration and the environment on serum lipid levels. 
3. The findings showed a future increasing trend of dyslipidemia among the Yi people in southwestern China. 
4. The Yi migrants had a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia than the resident Yi farmers, possibly attributed to their urbanized lifestyles (including drinking alcoholics).
