- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoDislipidemias en adultos a nivel de América Latina(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Pacho Nunink , Karen Elizabeth; Peñaloza Pazato, Pablo Ismael; Siguenza Pacheco, Marco Antonio; 0106755952; 0105816862Introduction: Dyslipidemia refers to abnormal concentrations of lipids, triglycerides, and cholesterol, which can be found in the blood. Risk factors cause this pathology; the most important are poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, type 1 diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypothyroidism, fatty foods, and genetic factors. Objective: To determine the prevalence, complications, therapeutic approaches, and nursing interventions for patients with dyslipidemia in Latin America. Methodology: A descriptive review of articles published within the last five years was conducted using data obtained through the search engines Scopus, PubMed, SciELO, ProQuest, and PubMed. In addition, a search strategy using keywords and Boolean operators was applied, which allowed the inclusion of 50 articles. Results: In Latin America, dyslipidemias have a very high prevalence; an accurate diagnosis should be confirmed with laboratory tests; the values should be cholesterol -200 mg/dl and triglycerides -150 mg/dl. An early diagnosis of dyslipidemia prevents complications and avoids chronic diseases such as stroke and arterial hypertension. The consequences in adults are usually more severe, as they can lead to cardiovascular diseases, which, in the worst case, can lead to death. Conclusion: Suffering from dyslipidemia entails many dangers since they do not usually disappear on their own; for this reason, prevalence levels are often very high. Regardless of the patient’s pharmacological treatment, it is essential to be strictly careful to cope and balance a healthy lifestyle before or after developing the disease.
