Abstract

Background - this cross-sectional, prospective study was done to observe pattern of lipid profile alteration in non-obese patients, to study the alteration of lipid profile in obese patients and to evaluate the any association between lipid profile and other parameters. Aims and objective – to compare the lipid profile between obese and non-obese patients with statistically analysis. Results – total 113 (42 obese and 71 non-obese) subjects were analyzed in this study. The mean age in obese group was found to be 41.24±8.64 years and maximum participants (82.00%) were from 40-50 years age group. The mean values of LDL, total cholesterol and triglyceride were high in obese than non-obese subject. Conclusion - It is concluded that mean value of triglycerides, LDL, HDL and total cholesterol was found to be significantly higher in obese individuals in comparison to the non-obese patients. We did the comparative study of lipid profile between obese and non-obese person and found significant difference statistically. These results indicate us that obesity is the progenitor of multiple medical and surgical illnesses.
