Dyslipidemias after home isolation in times of pandemic in workers of the Admiral Illingworth Naval Academy College

Abstract

Introduction: Dyslipidemia defined as an increase in blood lipids (cholesterol and/or triglycerides) is considered one of the main cardiovascular risk factors. Objectives: determine the association between sedentary lifestyle and Dyslipidemia in the workers of the Admiral Illingworth Naval Academy. To identify if there are variations in the mean values ​​of triglycerides and/or serum cholesterol before and after the SARS COV 2 quarantine. It was evidenced that there is an association between dyslipidemia and the level of physical activity with a p value of 0.000, being statistically significant. Methodology: this is a non-experimental, correlational study in that it is proposed that there is a correlation between home isolation and the increase in the prevalence of dyslipidemia. Results: variations were evident in terms of the average increase in cholesterol and triglycerides, being 7.79 mg/dl of cholesterol and 30 mg/dl of triglycerides. Furthermore, an association was demonstrated between dyslipidemia and the level of physical activity with a p value less than 0.05, being statistically significant. Conclusions: in the analysis of the variations, it was observed that there was an average increase of 7.79 mg/dl of cholesterol and 30 mg/dl of triglycerides before and after the pandemic, the p value < 0.05 with statistical significance. According to the values, it was determined that there is an association between sedentary lifestyle and dyslipidemia of workers since most of the population studied has a level of mild physical activity. General study area: Occupational health. Specific area of ​​study: Occupational medicine.
