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 normalenacademic stresscardiovascular diseasesDislipidemiaDyslipidemiaenfermedades cardiovascularesestrés académicoestudiantes universitariosHealthsaludUniversity studentsArticle
