Hypertriglyceridemia is an indicator of lipid metabolism disorders that contributes to increased cardiometabolic risk and often remains undetected among adults. This condition may increase the likelihood of developing chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and vascular disorders if not identified at an early stage. This community service program aimed to conduct triglyceride screening as an early detection effort using the Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach. A total of 98 adult participants with a mean age of 43.67±12.40 years were involved in the activity. Triglyceride measurements were performed to identify metabolic conditions within the community and provide an initial overview of potential health risks. The results showed a mean triglyceride level of 147.65±82.39 mg/dL, with a median of 123 mg/dL and a range of 45–464 mg/dL, indicating considerable variability among participants. Categorically, 65.3% of respondents were classified as having normal triglyceride levels, while 34.7% were identified with hypertriglyceridemia. The wide distribution of values, including several extreme results, reflects heterogeneity in metabolic conditions within the community. These findings indicate that triglyceride disorders represent a significant health concern among adults. Therefore, community-based screening programs should be implemented continuously and followed by promotive and preventive interventions, including dietary modification, increased physical activity, and weight management, to reduce cardiometabolic risk and support better public health outcomes.
