Dyslipidemia is a chronic disease requiring continuous management and is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases as well as hypertension and diabetes. However, no studies have so far visualized and predicted the probability of dyslipidemia. Hence, this study proposes a nomogram based on a logistic regression model that can visualize its risk factors and predict the probability of developing dyslipidemia. Twelve risk factors for dyslipidemia are identified through a chi-squared test. We then conduct a logistic regression analysis with two interaction variables to obtain a model and build a nomogram for dyslipidemia. Finally, we verify the constructed nomogram using a receiver operation characteristic curve and calibration plot.
