Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of anthropological and biochemical abnormalities that predispose an individual to coronary artery disease. The present study was conducted to assess blood pressure and lipid profile in metabolic syndrome patients. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted 110 MS patients and equal control. All were subjected to fasting blood sugars and fasting lipid profile level measurements. Blood samples for lipid profile were taken after 12 hours overnight fast. Results: In group I, 74% patients had hypertension while in group II 12% had hypertension. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). The duration of hypertension was 0-5 years (group I- 7%), 5-10 years (group I- 10%, group II- 5%), 10-15 years (group I -12%, group II- 5%) and >15 years (Group I- 45%, group II-2%). Group I had higher TG, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and VLDL than group II. The difference was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found significant difference in total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, VLDL level among patients and controls. The diet and change of life style is required to prevent complications.
