Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Hyperuricemia is becoming a universal risk factor for CVD complications as it is associated with dyslipidaemia, obesity, hypertension and metabolic syndrome. India is a country with variations of culture, life style, food habits and epidemiological report on CVD risk factor may alter in different geographical areas. Hence the present study was on Kodavas, a minority community mainly living in Coorg district of Karnataka. They are now distributed to other places in India and abroad. Ethnic Kodavas have high prevalence of CVD risk factors as they consume diet rich in fat, meat along with alcohol. The investigation was carried out on kodavas living in Mysore Karnataka. Out of 418 subjects enrolled in the study, 28.94% of subjects suffered from hyperuricemia condition and men were affected more than women. High LDL and Hypertriglyceridemia were more prevalent in hyperuricemics. The subjects with both dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia had significant increased levels of novel CVD markers like Lp(a),homocysteine, ApoB and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio(P Keywords: ApoA1, ApoB, Dyslipidemia, Homocysteine, Hyperuricemia, Lp(a)
