Abstract:
Background: The study was designed to investigate variabilities in lipid profile in Motihari adults by age, gender, smoking, BMI, exercise and income.
Methods: Blood sample of 100 subjects various Private clinics of Motihari District, Bihar India of mean age 27±7 were analyzed for Total Cholesterol, HDL-Triglyceride, LDL-C.
Results: Mean ± SD conc. of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total lipid and triglycerides were found to be 173 ± 43 mg/dl, 42 ± 9 mg/dl, 97 ± 39 mg/dl, 495 ± 255 mg/dl and 176 ± 84 mg/dl respectively. HDL -cholesterol were significantly high in younger age group (<30 yrs) than older (>30 yrs) group (45±10 mg/dl vs 41±9 mg/dl; p=0.03). Mean conc. of HDL-cholesterol were found significantly high in upper income group (>25,000 Rs pm) than lower income (<10,000Rs pm) group (48±11mg/dl vs 40±8 mg/dl; p=0.001). Mean levels of triglycerides were also significantly high in males than females (191±88mg/dl vs 154±74 mg/dl; p=0.02). Similarly mean value of triglycerides were significantly low in individuals performing exercise than individuals who do not perform exercise (130±42 mg/dl vs 186±87 mg/dl;p=0.01), mean triglyceride levels also significantly higher in hypertensive individuals (207±100 mg/dl vs 166±76 mg/dl ;p=0.03).
Conclusions: Mean levels of total lipid were found to be significantly higher in older people than younger also significantly higher in males than in females. Similarly mean triglycerides levels were significantly high in lower income group than upper income level group.
