Abstract
There has been a worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity and a parallel resurgence of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency and low calcium intakes are important risk factors for osteoporosis. The present study was done to find out the prevalence of Vitamin D and Lipid profile derangements in obese population of North India. 50 obese individuals (25M & 25 F) with WHR >0.85 and BMI> 30 were taken in study group in age group ranging from 25 to 60 years. Equal numbers of healthy subjects were taken (26M & 24F) and these patients were screened at Adesh Medical College Bathinda, Punjab, India. We observed significantly increased levels of Cholesterol (p<0.006), Triglycerides (p <0.001), S.L.D.L (p <0.001), S.V.L.D.L (p <0.001) & S.A.L.P (p <0.001) levels in obese Individuals as compared to normal individuals.
