The greater frequency of hypercholesterolemia in the studied years was among the ages old 16 and 20 years in both genders. Discussion: The frequency of hypercholesterolemia was 13.41%, cipher that,compared to the 56.6% reported by Daccarett NJ., and cols, was minor. Conclusions: Hypercholesterolemia presentedvariations according to age and gender, probably due to sexual maturation.
