    Cholesterol and bilirubin analyses are two of the most frequently requested tests to determine metabolic pathologies such as cardiovascular and hepatic diseases in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Objective: To determine the levels of cholesterol, total and fractionated bilirubins, and their correlation in apparently healthy adults from the Papa León XIII Human Settlement in Chilca-Cañete in 2018. Method: The method developed was a descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study conducted using the enzymatic and colorimetric method via UV-Visible spectrophotometry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24. The study sample demographics were: 54.1% adults, 25.2% older adults, and 20.7% young adults, with 80.2% females and 19.8% males. Results: 17.1% to 33.3% (95% CI) of the population had elevated total cholesterol, and total bilirubin levels were elevated in 15.5% – 31.3% (95% CI). Conclusion: High cholesterol levels were present in adults between 17.15% to 33.3% (95% CI) and in older adults at 39.3%. High total bilirubin values fluctuated between 15.5% to 31.3% (95% CI). An association was determined between cholesterol and age group (p=0.044), but no association was found with gender (p=0.396). An association was found between direct bilirubin and gender (p=0.025). A direct correlation exists between cholesterol values and bilirubin values.
