Abstract

Assess eating habits in patients with dyslipidemia taking lipid-lowering drugs and compare the current situation with generally proposed counselling. In the framework of a survey on the prevention of cardiovascular risk, we studied eating habits in 337 subjects. Food intake was recorded for 3 consecutive days and data compared among groups of subjects taking different classes of lipid-lowering drugs. Lipid-lowering therapy was relatively effective, giving satisfactory laboratory results. In general, patients followed general counselling concerning hyperlipidemia. However, for more specific aspects such as balanced fatty acid intake, and elements aimed at mid-term prevention, results could still be improved by further explaining desirable eating habits. For patients with hyperlipidemia, it is clear that personalized counseling management, in a structured health care unit, is certainly the best way to help these patients and optimize therapeutic results.
