Abstract
The Hyperlipidemia Panels among adult Latino Females is higher than in white females of the same age. Education of diet and lifestyle change can improve this ethnic group. Such changes include health-heart diet, physical exercises, and less drinking. The study will be helpful to local and state agencies, learning, and community projects. The experiment group comprised of 30 patients, (n=30) and their BMI was determined. From the study variables above, the BMI of the subjects had low BMI Patients attended 12.10 sessions on average. Most of the subjects were women and did not binge drink. The majority of the participants were white followed by Hispanic, Black, and Asian were the least. However, most of them were married. The data in this study put forward that education on diet and lifestyle change reduces the level of Hyperlipidemia Panels among the adult females in the experiment group. Moreover, further research study is needed establish the similar correlation with the males and young females in the Latin community.
Keywords: Hyperlipidemia, BMI, diet, and lifestyle.
Overview
Background Information
Hyperlipidemia is a health related condition that arises from increased lipids (fats) levels in the human blood. Such lipids include triglycerides and cholesterol. However, although hyperlipidemia causes no symptoms, the condition can drastically increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease such as blood vessels, brains, and limbs diseases. These conditions can in turn lead to heart attacks, chest pain, and strokes among other related problems (Kaur, 2014). Additionally, in the US, heart disease in the number killer disease among American women (Tigbe et al., 2017). Significantly, heart disease is the second most deadly disease among the Latin women adults. However, only 34% of the Latin women adults are aware of this information compared to 65% of the white women (McLean, 2017). Moreover, McLean (2017) adds that 77% of the Latin women are overweight, 31% have high blood pressure, 41% have cholesterol level higher or equal to 200mg/dl, and 13% have been diagnosed with diabetes.
Introduction
Healthy eating and lifestyle change have a significant role in preventing hyperlipidemia condition and related diseases. Majority of the prior investigations have had their focus on basic dietary components alone and no focus on general lifestyle changes. Thus, a trend as well as corresponding across the whole issue of dietary and lifestyle change education are not established well. Moreover, investigation into this matter has not uncovered the relevance of some significant food subtypes of fruits, whole grains, and vegetables. Such food may uncover important aspects of consumption that are underlying.
Purpose of the Study
However, when this study is completes will be important to health agencies, federal agencies, local and state education. This research it will uncover the significant of education on diet and lifestyle changes among adult women. This research study is crucial in preventing and managing hyperlipidemia in the bid to improve the quality of women life especially from minority and underrepresented ethnic groups and ensure they are healthy and productive adults. The study also equips Latin women with substantial information on self-life management. Thus, the purpose or objective of this research paper is to examine the efficacy of education of diet and lifestyle changes on improving overall hyperlipidemia panel within a 3 month period compared to those who do not receive education among adult Latino Females age 35-60.
Research Data
Population and sample
The research study population in this case consists of 130 hyperlipidemia subjects. They will have their body weight, drinking habits, marital status, and race determined, recorded, and utilized as the study’s base line. Similarly, the data on session attendance and performance blood will also be measured and determined. These are risk factors which will be used to determine how Latin women’s cholesterol levels that affect their heart disease risks.
The sample population for this study will be determined though random selection. In a group of Latin women selected from New York, a study sample will be calculated using a desired population size, confidence level and confidence interval. Preferably, with a total population of 30 patients from New York with hyperlipidemia, a confidence level of 95%, confidence interval of 4 and 15.75% will be sufficient for this study.

Where; Z is the value of confidence level (95%), P is the percentage of picking a choice (0.5 as decimal), and C is the confidence level (expressed as 0.4/±4). Using the above formula, with a study population of 30 patients, a confidence level of 95% (significance level 0.05) and confidence interval of 4 and 15.75%, the sample for this study is 30 The 108 subjects from New York City will represent the entire population of Latin women with hyperlipidemia condition. Significantly, the results from the study subjects will be a reflection of the entire population.
The intervention for this research study will include an education program on diet and lifestyle change. Less than half (30) of the population will form the study sample will form the treatment subjects in the research. This will be 30 patients out of the selected for the experiment group out of 130. In this study, 30 participants will be mandated to attend a scheduled education program of two hours (5) five days a week for three (3) months. In this program, 1 hour will basically tackle health-heart diet issues, 40 physical exercises, and the remaining 20 minutes will be set for interactions among the members under study to share their experiences. Over the one hour period, the subjects will be given health lesson regarding nutrition as well as self-management (Stein & Raal, 2014). A 40 minutes physical exercise will be majorly utilized to help the adult Latin women keep fit physically and mentally.
Data Collection
Data on their body weight, drinking, session attendance, and performance will be measured or determined on a weekly basis for the purpose of monitoring their progress as subjects of the study (Christopher et al., 2015). Both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods will be used. The qualitative data collection method used here will be interviews on the rate of smoking or/and drinking by the subjects under study (Kooti et al., 2014). Quantitative questionnaires will also be used in the study to determine whether the lipid/fats level is decreasing or not. The data collected will be recorded, analyzed, and presented using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze quantitative data collected. Similarly, tables will be used to present the quantitative data.
Variables
* Sessions
The sessions were programmed for the several subjects. The subjects of the study were expected to take part in. The subjects came from different ethnic groups. The most important aspect for the group was for the Hispanic females aged between 35-60 years with hyperlipidemia. Physical exercises increase the level of metabolism thus reducing BMI and glucose/fats/lipids that cause hyperlipidemia in the body. Determining the level of physical exercise that can influence a reduced level of hyperlipidemia panels is critical in this study.
* Gender
The study was aimed at investigating the aspects affecting the female gender. The total population in this study was 30 patients. Females are more susceptible to similar case of infections as compared to males. However, because females does not drinking as much as males, it is important to identify the related factor in the female gender that leads to this scenario. This means their marital status, biology, lifestyle, and exposure to physical exercise come into play. iii. Race
The study involved subjects from different races. The races included whites, Hispanic, Blacks, and Asian. Race and ethnicity is identified as a factor that could lead to increase level of hyperlipidemia panels. People of Hispanic origin are said to be more susceptible to BMI related infections like hyperlipidemia and obesity tan some other genders. It is important to identify the relationship in this case and explain whether Hispanic ethnicity exposes someone to hyperlipidemia.
* Marital status
The study investigated the marital status of the subjects of the study. Marital status is identified as a factor that can influence the level of hyperlipedemia panel. Marriage comes with responsibilities and it limits the time available for physical exercise and diet education among other reasons. The research study will identify the subjects as married, unmarried, divorced, and in relationship among others.
* Binge
The study investigated the frequency at which the subjects drink. Binge drinking means a spree drinking or overdrinking. Binge drinking is attributed to sedentary lifestyle which increases the level of hyperlipidemia panels. The rate or level of drinking was identified as a factor that could increase the level of hyperlipidemia panel. The examined if the subjects binge drank in less than a month, a month, or so.
