Generalised and central obesity were observed in 19% and 14 % of study group. 16 were hypertensive, while dyslipidemia and diabetes were present in 12 and 9 subjects of study population. Smoking was observed as the most common risk factor 40 in study group and a positive family history was the second most common risk factor with a prevalence of 31%.
