Resumen
Background and Aims: Lipid and metabolic disturbances including elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose, play a critical role in the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in adults. However, comprehensive, population-level data describing these abnormalities in the Dominican Republic are limited. This lack of detailed epidemiologic insight restricts the ability to design targeted, evidence-based prevention strategies. As metabolic disorders continue to increase across developing nations, evaluating local trends is essential to strengthening public health responses and improving long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
