Brief Summary
Primary : To determine the effect of Rimonabant 20 mg on changes in, HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride levels over a period of 12 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in abdominally obese patients with dyslipidemia with or without other associated comorbidities. Main Secondary : To determine the effect of 12 months Rimonabant treatment versus placebo on changes in waist circumference (WC), body weight, glycemic and lipid parameters. To assess the safety of 12 months Rimonabant treatment versus placebo in these patients. In selected sites, a sub study will be conducted to determine the effect of 12 months of Rimonabant on additional lipoprotein and inflammatory parameters.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- BMI \> 27 kg/m² and \< 40 kg/m²,
- Waist Circumference \> 88 cm in women; \> 102 cm in men,
- HDL cholesterol \< 40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) for men; \< 50 mg/dL (1.29 mmol/L) for women, and/or Triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL (1.69 mmol/L),
- LDL cholesterol up to 155 mg/dl (4.00 mmol/L) including patients on a stable dose of statins and/or Ezetimibe therapy for at least 8 weeks prior to screening
- Concomitant medications:
- Current treatment with statins and/or ezetimibe and/or antihypertensive therapy must be at fixed and stable dose for at least 8 weeks prior to screening visit,
- Patients, who are willing and in the opinion of the Investigator safely assumed to remain on stable and fixed doses of antihypertensive, and/or statins and/or ezetimibe without adding additional medications or changing current treatment for the duration of the trial.
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women, or women planning to become pregnant or breastfeed (excluded by pregnancy test),
- Absence of medically approved contraceptive methods for female of childbearing potential,
- History of very low-calorie diet within 3 months prior to screening visit (lower than 1200 Kcal/day),
- Weight change \> 5 kg within 3 months prior to screening visit,
- History of surgical procedures for weight loss (e.g., stomach stapling, bypass),
- History of bulimia or anorexia nervosa as per DSM-IV criteria
- Presence of any clinically significant endocrine disease according to the investigator, in particular known abnormal TSH and free T4 blood level (Patients treated with thyroid replacement therapy must be on fixed and stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening and must be in euthyroïd status),
- Established type 1 or 2 diabetes treated, or with at least 2 measures of fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl,
- Triglyceride level \> 400 mg/dL (4.52 mmol/L),
- Systolic blood pressure \> 160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg at screening visit,
- Known severe renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance \< 30 ml/min) or nephrotic syndrome or urinalysis (performed at screening by dipstick) showing 2+ or more protein,
- Known severe hepatic impairment or AST and/or ALT \> 3 times the upper limit of normal at screening,
- Presence of any condition (medical, including clinically significant abnormal laboratory tests, psychological, social or geographical) actual or anticipated that the investigator feels would compromise the patient's safety or limit his/her successful participation to the study. In particular :
- Cardiac abnormalities: cardiac failure status NYHA III or IV, relevant acute abnormal finding seen on ECG at screening or within 6 months before screening,
- Any current malignancy or any cancer within the past five years (except adequately treated basal cell skin cancer or cervix carcinoma in situ),
