Comparison of Lipoprotein(a) value with lipid profile in subject of age group 20 – 40 years in rural and urban population of Kishanganj district
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Problem Statement: Genetic Studies and numerous epidemiological studies have identified Lp(a) as a risks factor for atherosclerotic disease such as coronary heart disease and stroke. The Lp (a) Induced increased risk factor of CVD may be mediated by both its proatherogenic and prothrombotic mechanism. Methods: This study was conducted in the department of Biochemistry and medicine ward in M.G.M. medical college and L.S.K. Hospital Kishanganj, Bihar. It was case study. The duration of study was from December 2015 to September 2017. The study group comprises fifty-fifty individual cases of 20-40 years age group from rural and urban area having no chronic disease included in the study after following the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Results: We divided all 50 patients each in 20 – 30 years and 31 – 40 years of age group from rural and urban area, showing that in this study rural and urban area consists 50 patients (100%) each. in urban area 26% (13) male patients belong from 20-30 years of age group and 42 % (21) male patients belong from 31-40 years of age group. Likewise 14% (7) and 18% (9) female patients belong from 20-30 years of age group and 31-40 years of age group respectively in urban area. On the other hand in rural area 28% (14) and 30% (15) male patients belong from 20-30 years and 31-40 years of age group respectively. The percentage for the female patients belong from rural area for 20-30- years and 31-40 years of age group is 16% (8) and 26 % (13) respectively. Conclusion: “comparison of lipoprotein(a) value lipid profile in subject of age group 20-40 years in rural and urban population ;” we tried to evaluate and correlate the value of Lp(a) and lipid profile in different age group and different areas(rural and urban). As Discussed earlier the increase in Lp(a) is directly proportional to increase in cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride. Furthermore, we have seen that their value is higher in urban population as compeered to rural population. Which may be due to difference in life style and food habit.
