Abstract Purpose Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of deaths among non-communicable diseases. Arguments about the best prevention strategy to control CVDs’ risk factors continue. We evaluated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of CVDs in different levels of plasma cholesterol. Methods Patients’ data were obtained from Iran STEPs 2016 study. In phase 0 we estimated PAF regardless of cholesterol levels and clinical factors. In phase 1 we calculated PAF based on three levels of cholesterol (
