A total of 160 study subjects were selected from the medicine ward of MNR hospital during the period from January 2015 to December 2015. Results: A significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and very low-density lipoprotein were estimated in hypertensive subjects when compared with normotensive (< 0.001). The mean HDL of cases was significantly lower than that of controls (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The present study concludes that dyslipidemia is associated with hypertension.
