A study of lipid profile of patients with hypertension at tertiary health care centre
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Lipid profile is a good indicator for predicting early corornary risk factor along with BMI. Objectives: To study the lipid profile of patients attending tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods: randomly selected 100 cases were evaluated for lipid profile and overnight fast. BMI was calculated using Kg/m2 formula. Results: There were 65% male and 35% females in this study. With 26% of total cases 46-55 age group was most common age group in this study. Lower (˂ 25) BMI had more HDL (40.6±1.2 mg/dl) compared to those whos BMI was >25, higher BMI had higher LDL, VLDL, TG and cholesterol values. Mean age was 48.2±22.5 years, HDL value was 42.5±8.3 mg/dl, LDL was 105.6±40.9 mg/dl. Conclusions: Atherogenic lipid profile cannot be ruled out in this population, along with BMI lipid profile serves a good indicator for early coronary risk factor.
