The lipid profile is conditioned by several factors including the styles of life, physical exercise, and eating habits. The present study is to evaluate the lipid profile in a population of students in higher education and study their association with body mass index, lifestyles, and eating habits. In a descriptive exploratory study, transversal, we determined the lipid profile of 97 students, volunteers, and higher education, aged 18 to 25 years. The lipid profile was determined by assay of total cholesterol and fractions (HDL and LDL) and triglycerides. It identified the body mass index and habits and lifestyles, collected by applying a validated questionnaire. In the present study, no significant change in lipid profile, BMI, or total food score. No associations were found between lipid disorders and gender, and smoking habits in the students with the HDL fraction were lower. The low food score is not associated with lipid profile, the same was not observed in relation to physical exercise. There is an altered lipid profile in 44.4% of participants, an average of 198.04mg/dl cholesterol, and triglycerides 82.58mg/dl, which are high values for this age group. The results of this study indicate that this population is to monitor the risk factors to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
