A search was carried out in databases following he PRISMA scheme, obtaining fifteen studies. As for the main results: four of eight studies referring to sleep duration relate more than nine hours of sleep with an increased risk of sarcopenia, three of the five studies relate poorer sleep quality with worse body composition data or increased risk of sarcopenia and two studies related late chronotype with a higher risk of sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome.

Multiple clinical trials have shown that lowering LDL-C by lipid-lowering therapy is associated with a significant decrease in the risk of vascular complications. Thus, LDL-C is the main therapeutic target in patients with dyslipidemia. Unfortunately, current LDL-C control figures are still very low, partly due to insufficient intensification of lipid-lowering therapy, but also due to the need for new tools to achieve these goals. This paper reviews the different lipid-lowering treatment options, including the latest available therapies, and provides a practical approach to achieving LDL-C control goals in patients with hypercholesterolemia, as well as in different patient subgroups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53212,"journal":{"name":"Medicina de Familia-SEMERGEN","volume":"51 4","pages":"Article 102460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
