Changing life style of an individual by neglecting the suitability of āhāra and vihāra according to ones Prakṛti has led to many life style disorders. Aim: Present study was intended to assess the association of Prakṛti (Constitutional types) as a risk factor in Medoroga with special reference to Dyslipidemia. Methods: A Nidānātmaka study was conducted at NIA Jaipur in which 513 subjects of either sex were included after informed consent and the data were collected to measure the risk factors of non-communicable diseases in terms of Prakṛti with special reference to Medoroga (Dyslipidemia) by incorporating WHO STEPS Approach. Results: Most of the subjects i.e. 47.17% were of Pitta- Kapha Prakṛti and total 78.74% subjects were of Kapha dominant Prakṛti in the current Nidānātmaka survey. In this study 113 subjects were found Dyslipidemic in which most of the subjects i.e. 41.59% were of Pitta- Kapha Prakṛti and total 77.86%subjects were of Kapha dominant Prakṛti. Discussion: In this study it was concluded that Kapha dominant Prakṛti predisposes to Medoroga (Dyslipidemia) and can be considered as an important risk factor in its etiology. So Prakṛti helps us to become aware of the disease we may become prone to, and accordingly helps us to follow a preventive lifestyle.
