Traditional cardiovascular risk models are limited in capturing functional alterations in HDL-C linked to smoking and diet in Latin American populations. We analyzed the relationship between traditional and non-traditional risk factors and the serum lipid profile of hospitalized Mexican adults, emphasizing HDL-C behavior.
An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted in 70 adults following the STROBE statement. Non-parametric tests, Huber's robust multiple regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were performed.

Measure serum lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, VLDL-C)
Differences in serum lipid concentrations (mg/dL) according to traditional and non-traditional cardiovascular risk factors, with emphasis on HDL-C as an indirect marker of antiatherogenic dysfunction

Comparison of HDL-C levels between active smokers and non-smokers
Time frame: Baseline
Measure Triglyceride and VLDL-C levels in patients with diabetes mellitus
Comparison of triglyceride and VLDL-C concentrations by diabetes mellitus diagnosis
Time frame: Baseline
