Discussion

Cross-sectional study examines how sample type and collection time affect cholesterol and triglycerides in students, suggesting optimal methods.

Significant increases in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein were noted in fasting samples.
Anticoagulant type was found to significantly influence cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels.
Random sampling yielded better results for lipid profile estimation compared to fasting or starvation samples.
K2EDTA and plain containers are recommended for more accurate lipid profile assessments.

Agoro et al. (2025) studied this question.
