Popis: Introduction. Dyslipidemias are among the most important modifiable risk factors associated with cardiovascular pathology. Materials and methods. The preliminary results of the observational, cross-sectional study conducted from February 2020 to January 2023 are presented. The prevalence of dyslipidemia and the lipid profile in a sample of 728 participants from rural and urban environments were analyzed. Results: In a group of participants with a mean age of 47.14 ± 12.65 years, it was observed that elevated LDL- cholesterol and decreased HDL-cholesterol levels were the most frequent abnormal lipid parameters in men, and in women isolated elevation of LDL-cholesterol was often recorded. Conclusions: The study emphasizes the importance of early screening in apparently healthy populations. Early diagnosis may identify high-risk population groups, where early intervention may lead to avoidance of later complications related to dyslipidemia.
