Desenvolvimento de material lúdico sobre o colesterol

Abstract

High cholesterol is related to the main causes of mortality in the world and in Brazil. Additionally, AMI (acute myocardial infarction) and stroke (cerebrovascular accident) these diseases can cause sequelae or disability due to infarctions, stroke, thrombosis, among others. In this work, a ludic board game about cholesterol was developed in order to disseminate knowledge on the subject in a fun and instructive way, integrating the family. With this work, we inserted information both about foods, sources of cholesterol, and those that tend to lower cholesterol, in addition to diseases associated with death or permanent or temporary sequelae. The game has two or more participants who play the game based on luck and tests of knowledge about cholesterol. In this way, players can have fun and assimilate both the harmful effects of excess cholesterol in the human body and ways to prevent it, in a dynamic and pleasant way.
