dc.description.abstractThe various activities that university students face generate stress and variation in healthy habits, producing alterations such as an increase in blood lipids, a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between academic stress and dyslipidemia in students of the Faculty of Health of the Santiago de Cali University, Colombia. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out with simple random sampling. The sample was of 212 students, average age of 21 years, range between 16 and 40; from which a blood sample was extracted to quantify lipid levels. Likewise, the General Stress Appreciation Scale was applied. The statistical analysis was carried out with the R program version 3.5.1. Among the results, 26.4% of the population presents stress levels between medium, high and very high, being related to HDL-C> 40. There were no changes in cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C with stress. It is concluded that there is a low relationship between academic stress and lipid alteration, however, at low levels of stress, HDL-C was normal
