About

Dyslipidemia is expressed as the serum concentration of lipid molecules with different structures outside the normal level. Deviation of serum lipid level from normal is accepted as the primary or most important factor in various cardiac and metabolic diseases, especially atherosclerosis. Dyslipidemia-related cardiovascular structure change is accepted as an important public health problem worldwide, and it is stated that the combined use of medical treatment, changes in diet and physical activity/structured exercise programs in the treatment of dyslipidemia is important in the success of treatment.

Full description

Lipid profile disorders (especially high total blood cholesterol level) are a major problem worldwide, and accepted as a important public health problem. It has been reported that approximately one out of every three people worldwide has been exposed to dyslipidemia risk factors. Prevalence studies showed that lipid profile disorders vary between 6.9% and 43.6% worldwide. Today, ischemic heart and central nervous system diseases are the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in adult population, globally. Especially, it is accepted that lipid profile disorders are the leading risk factors causing ischemic heart diseases.

Prevalence varies according to regions, lifestyle habits and individual factors, because of lipid profile disorders are caused by many different genetic and environmental factors. Apart from individual factors, there are other factors that lipid weight in diet, nutrient deficiencies which balancing lipid metabolism, physical activity level and inactivity, other comorbid diseases, and medical treatments change lipid metabolism in individuals and lead to deterioration in lipid profile. Especially lifestyle habits affect lipid metabolism most easily and they are the most easily modifiable factors.

It is recommended to apply a multi-dimensional approach when treating lipid profile disorders. It is recommended that, to include diet counseling and exercise therapy in these approaches. Exercise therapy is especially recognized as an important treatment option for the control and treatment of obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and metabolic syndrome symptoms that may accompany dyslipidemia.

It has been reported that aerobic exercise programs increase patients' quality of life and functionality which applied to dyslipidemia patients, but there is lack of information available in literature about the effects of calisthenic exercises in patients with dyslipidemia.
