    This prospective, analytical, longitudinal, and quasi-experimental study evaluated the use of Cyclanthera pedata (caigua) salad as an alternative treatment for hypertriglyceridemia in adult women. The study included 85 women aged 30 to 62 years from the Santa Rosa community in the district of Lurín, selected from a total population of 600 women. Initial triglyceride levels among participants ranged from 178.13 to 326.58 mg/dl. For two months, from February to April 2011, the women consumed 30 grams of caigua salad once a week, on an empty stomach. Triglyceride levels were measured before and after treatment using an enzymatic method. The post-treatment results showed a favorable reduction, with triglyceride concentrations falling between 89.02 and 195.44 mg/dl. Statistical analysis with the Wilcoxon non-parametric test confirmed a significant difference, indicating a 78% decrease. The mean triglyceride level dropped from 235.14 mg/dl before treatment to 134.64 mg/dl after treatment. These findings highlight the beneficial effect of caigua salad as an alternative therapy for hypertriglyceridemia, supporting its potential role in dietary interventions for cardiovascular risk reduction.
