THE ASSOCIATION OF DYSLIPIDEMIA IN VARIOUS NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES ALONG WITH THEIR CLINICAL PROFILE

Abstract

Background: Several clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that dyslipidemia, a component of metabolic syndrome, can double the risk of cardiovascular events among subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) despite aggressive blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and blood glucose control. Objectives: To study the association of Dyslipidemia with various non-communicable diseases. This study was conducted to Method: explore the prevalence and various patterns of dyslipidemia, along with their clinical prole, in Rajkot and Saurashtra region of Gujrat, India; in 100 patients of CVDs presenting to P.D.U. Government College and Hospital, Rajkot. The pattern of Dyslipidemia in different age and sex groups along with its association with various Non-communicable Diseases was studied. Results: The study included 100 patients rst time diagnosed with non-communicable diseases for the rst time such as Myocardial Infarction, Cerebrovascular Stroke, Diabetes Mellitus, and Hypertension. In the present study, out of 100 cases, 72 (72%) were males and 28 (28%) were females. So, non-communicable diseases were found more commonly in males. In the present study, out of a total of 100 recruited cases, 83% had at least one abnormal lipid parameter, while 17% had a normal lipid prole. Considering the prevalence of dyslipidemia in both sexes, though minor, female preference was noticed. In the present study, 81.94% of males had dyslipidemia and 85.71% of females were dyslipidemic. Conclusion: Patients with low HDL had a family history positive in 72%. Hence, from the present study, it can be concluded that dyslipidemia is more commonly found in middleaged obese urban females with a positive family history.
