| Sumario: | The lipid biochemical tests are the tool to investigate dyslipidemia, one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Medical professionals must know when to correctly order these tests, interpret them and take steps to reduce modifiable risk factors and dyslipidemia itself, in order to provide adequate care. This research aimed to evaluate and compare the knowledge of medical students on the subject. This is a descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study, carried out with 116 medical students of a college in Teresina-PI who were regularly enrolled in the internship (from 9th to 12th period), collected through an online questionnaire with 13 questions. The results indicated an increasing average of correct answers the longer the period in progress, in addition to greater mastery when the student had already attended the Primary Care cycle. However, the overall results still reflected little knowledge about dyslipidemia and its behavior. |
