Abstract :

Introduction– Obesity is one of the emerging epidemics in the world and is associated with many co–morbid conditions like hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, anemia, dyslipidemia and cancer. Prevention of obesity will result in overall reduction of the co–morbidities and it’s subsequent cardiovascular risks with overall decrease in mortality and morbidity. Aim– This Study aims to find the trend of dyslipidemia in Obese and Non Obese healthy individuals and it’s predictive value for cardiac risk after 10 years. Materials and Methods– This is a prospective type of descriptive analytical study with 240 patients who visited the OPD at SRMS–IMS and are above 18 years of age. The patients are divided into obese and non obese based on BMI. BMI>25 is taken as obese. Fasting Lipid profile which included – Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL and triglycerides are estimated in them. Patients who are already on Anti–lipid agents are excluded from the study. 10 Year Cardiac risk is established by Framingham Risk Score and the data is analysed statistically by SPSS Software. Conclusion– In our study we concluded that, in obese individuals, Total Cholesterol and LDL levels are significantly increased in comparison to Non– obese Individuals. Other parameters like VLDL, Triglycerides and HDL Levels are also deranged but the data was found to be non significant. 10 year calculated risk for CAD was found to be high in obese in comparison to non obese Individuals.
