Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Dyslipidemia is a modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease, and other lifestyle diseases. Lipid profile screening is normally advocated after the age of 35 years. Material and methods: For the study normal 285 subjects were selected from various camps conducted by systematic random sampling. Their fasting lipid profile was collected and anthropometric measurements were taken by WHO protocol. Result: There was significant positive correlation between BMI and TG while significant negative correlation existed between BMI and TC and HDL. It was observed that Waist Hip Ratio was significantly and negatively correlated with TG, TC and HDL. No significant correlation was found between LDL and the anthropometric indices (BMI and WHR). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia prevalence was 33.33% in our study. The most common dyslipidemia observed was a low HDL Cholesterol levels. BMI predicted the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia in our study population. Increase in the age also predicted the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia in our study. Increase in waist hip ratio >0.9 in men and >0.85 in females showed an increased risk of dyslipidemia.
