“…It is a significant risk cause for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is accountable for approximately 30% of all coronary heart diseases and 50% of cerebrovascular diseases worldwide, resulting in nearly 2.6 million deaths each year ( World Health Organization WHO, 2021 ). The prevalence of hyperlipidemia in Middle Eastern and African countries was found to reach 70% ( Raal et al, 2018 ), and in Saudi Arabia, it varies from 8.5 to 54.9%, based on location ( Medani et al, 2018 ). High-fat diet (HFD) and obesity are major causes of hyperlipidemia, which negatively alter lipoprotein metabolism ( Misar, 2020 ).…”

Varios estudios mencionan que el aceite de oliva extra virgen ha mostrado beneficios de acuerdo a cómo ac-túan sus ácidos grasos monoinsaturados ayudando a incrementar las lipoproteínas de alta densidad (HdL) y promover la inhibición de la oxidación de las lipo-proteínas de baja densidad (LdL). El aceite de oliva extra virgen contiene antioxidantes llamados polife-noles y tocoferoles, los cuales contribuyen a prevenir el desarrollo del estrés oxidativo. El aceite de oliva extra virgen es básicamente el único de los aceites que con-tiene una alta cantidad de estos compuestos antioxi-dantes, debido a que los demás aceites comestibles los pierden en el proceso de refinado.Actualmente, el colesterol alto o hipercolesterole-mia se considera como uno de los factores de riesgo más importantes relacionados al desarrollo de enfer-medades cardiovasculares, pues incrementa el riesgo de infarto o derrames cerebrales, ya que puede limi-tar la irrigación sanguínea. Usualmente el nivel alto de colesterol no presenta síntomas y únicamente puede ser detectado por exámenes de sangre. El tratamiento para esta enfermedad se basa en medicamentos y una dieta balanceada acompañada de ejercicio físico.Años atrás se creía que el consumo de grasas era muy perjudicial para la salud. Hoy en día existen estu-dios que demuestran que una dieta adecuada en cuan-to a qué tipo de grasa se consume puede contribuir a beneficiar la salud y a prevenir enfermedades como, en este caso, la hipercolesterolemia. En esta revisión se observó que el aceite de oliva extra virgen tuvo efectos beneficiosos al disminuir los niveles de coles-terol LdL.

“…Due to the fact that HC is an asymptomatic disorder, and the fact that HC is largely influenced by demographic characteristics, the prevalence of HC in Saudi Arabia, specifically, ranges widely in different regions from 8.5% to 54.9%. [7][8][9] The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has introduced new changes as part of the National Transformation Program (NTP) 2020 and Saudi Vision 2030, in which more emphasis will be placed on the advancement of the wellness framework. 10 Thus, the Saudi Arabian government is currently focusing on improving the services related to medical care while enhancing the public awareness and knowledge regarding their health status.…”

Introduction Hypercholesterolemia (HC) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death worldwide. Many factors can contribute to HC, including advanced age, chronic diseases (such as diabetes and nephrotic syndrome), and the use of certain medications. Aim Our goal was to compare the sociodemographic, behavioral, and other comorbid conditions of adult participants living with HC in Saudi Arabia to the general population. Methods This is a secondary data analysis from the Sharik Health Indicators Surveillance System (SHISS). SHISS consists of cross-sectional phone interviews conducted in all administrative regions of Saudi Arabia on a quarterly basis. Participant recruitment was limited to Arabic-speaking Saudi residents who were ≥18 years old. Results Out of 20,492 potential participants contacted in 2021, 14,007 completed the interview. Of the total participants, 50.1% were male. The mean age of participants was 36.7 years, with 1673 (11.94%) having HC. A regression model showed that participants with HC had a higher likelihood of being older, living in Tabouk, Riyadh, or Asir regions, being overweight or obese, having diabetes, hypertension, genetic or heart diseases, or having a higher risk of depression. Gender, all types of smoking, physical activity, and education level were eliminated from the model. Discussion In this study, participants with HC were identified with some co-existing conditions that may affect the progression of the disease and the participants’ quality of life. This information could assist care providers in identifying patients who are at higher risk, improve screening efficiency, and improve disease progression and quality of life.
