The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between HDL levels and severity of COVID-19 infection in people over 18 years of age evaluated in a Trujillo laboratory during the 2019-2020 period. In this research, the formula for the comparison of means was used to calculate the sample, we considered a confidence level of 95% (α=0.05). A sample size of 381 participants was obtained. The laboratory was asked for the analytical results of patients who included HDL and who had developed COVID-19, each observation was analyzed, collecting the data age, sex, HDL levels and COVID-19 severity, taking into account the inclusion criteria and discarding those observations that fall within the exclusion criteria. The data was submitted to statistical analysis (we used absolute and relative frequencies of each category, measures of central tendency and dispersion, regression analysis, and ANOVA). We found the following findings: 49.3% were women and 50.7% were men. More men developed severe COVID-19 compared to women. The mean of the HDL values of the patients who developed severe COVID-19 was 26.8 ± 8. For each mg/dl increase in HDL values, the probability that an infected patient will develop moderate COVID-19 decreases by 22 %, and for each mg/dl increase in HDL values, the probability of developing severe COVID-19 decreases by 41%, with a significance level of less than 0.001. We conclude that: The relationship between HDL levels and severity of COVID-19 infection is indirectly proportional and independent of gender and age. Low HDL levels show a higher probability of developing severe or critical COVID-19, while high HDL levels were associated with a lower probability of COVID-19 infection.
