Efectividad de una intervención en salud sobre el perfil lipídico en pacientes con riesgo cardiovascular

Abstract

Abstract:.The relationship between lipid profile and cardiovascular diseases represents a topic of great interest due to its impact on health and its position as the main reason for consultation throughout the public health network. Thus, this thesis aims to evaluate the influence of the lipid profile on variables associated with cardiovascular risk and its modification through the implementation of a comprehensive program based on recommendations for a Mediterranean diet, physical activity, and emotional support. The study had a quasi-experimental design (before and after) in which participants were evaluated at the beginning of the program and after four months of intervention. The results were compared with a control group. The data analysis showed a significant reduction in variables related to cardiovascular risk, such as weight, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure. However, although the lipid profile indicators decreased, these results were not statistically different, which helps to highlight the importance of implementing these prevention programs.
