Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of dyslipidemia in normotensive, non diabetic obese patients.
Methods: It was a cross sectional study including admitted patients and patients visiting
outdoor. After obtaining informed consent, demographic information such as name, age, gender
was collected .This study included 200 normotensive, non diabetic obese patients. Serum lipid
profile was checked in all patients. The frequency and pattern of dyslipidemia was assessed
which was described in frequency distribution tables.
Results: The mean total Cholesterol, mean LDL C, HDL and Triglyceride levels were 211.59 ±
42.39 mg/dL, 131.39 ±17.21mg/dL, 36.46±7.93 mg/dL and 164.69 ± 11.80 mg/dL, respectively.
The dyslipidemias were found in 87 (43.5%) patients.
Conclusion: The frequency of dyslipidemias is high among normotensive non diabetic obese patients. So, every patient with obesity should be screened with lipid profile. .
