This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of dyslipidemia in elite athletes, exploring its prevalence, contributing physiological and lifestyle factors, clinical consequences and current approaches to assessment and management. Special attention is given to population-specific considerations, including gender, sport type and ethnicity. The limitations of general population cardiovascular risk scores in this context are discussed, with a focus on the need for athlete-specific tools such as the proposed \"Lipid Athlete Score.\" Management strategies, ranging from lifestyle modification to the cautious use of pharmacologic agents and emerging nutraceutical interventions, are critically evaluated.
