LIPID PROFILE OF OLDER ADULTS WITH CHRONIC DISEASES
Abstract
Furthermore, diabetes was significantly associated with the presence of hypertriglyceridemia (p=0.044), indicating a strong metabolic link between the conditions. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of dyslipidemia among older adults with chronic diseases, especially hypertriglyceridemia, which is strongly associated with diabetes and markers of central obesity. The findings underscore the importance of body composition and metabolic control in managing lipid abnormalities in this population. Implications: These results support the need for integrated, multidisciplinary care strategies in primary health settings. Monitoring lipid profiles and addressing modifiable risk factors such as obesity and poor glycemic control are essential. Healthcare providers should focus on personalized care plans that consider the complex interplay between diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and nutritional status to reduce cardiovascular risks and improve quality of life in older adults.
