1. Prevalence and association of dyslipidemia with diabetic and hypertension in population of Takht-e-Nasrati, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Abstract
This research aims to study the prevalence rate of dyslipidemia and its association with diabetics and hypertension among different gender in a population of Takht-e-Nasrati, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Analysis of the different levels of cholesterol and lipoprotein were also studied. A total of 200 individuals were evaluated for their blood lipid profiles during their visits to the laboratory. Participants who had a blood pressure of more than 140/90 mmHg were classified as hypertensive. Diabetic patients, on the other hand, were selected based on fasting blood glucose levels greater than 126 mg/dl and HbA1c values larger than 6.5 percent. SPSS-21 was used to collect and analyze the data for the Chi-square test. The result of the current study shows that a high prevalence rate of dyslipidemia 110(56%) were found in male as compared to female 90 (44%) out of a total of 200 individuals. A high prevalence rate of dyslipidemia 92 (46%) were found in age group III. Hypertension 79 (64%) were the most prevalent associated factor in dyslipidemia individuals followed by diabetic 44 (36%). HDL cholesterol levels were high 89 (46%) in male and 72 (36%) in female. Low levels of total cholesterol 82 (41%) in male and 70 (35%) in female were studied. Diabetes and hypertension are both linked to dyslipidemia. To avoid the development of cardiovascular diseases, diabetic and hypertensive individuals with dyslipidemia should be closely monitored.
