Abstract

Based on the most recent scientific evidence, in this chapter we describe the relation of levels of triglycerides and risk of cardiovascular diseases. Particularly, we describe the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia based on studies published at national and international reports; the relation between hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular diseases according to results of cohort studies; and finally, we describe the most recent evidence from clinical trials, meta-analysis and systematic reviews that have shown data on the efficacy of lowering triglyceride levels and reducing cardiovascular diseases.

Keywords: Epidemiology; Epidemiología; Triglicéridos; Triglycerides.
