Abstract
Background: Impaired lipid metabolism is considered to be a major risk factor for the incidence of cardiovascular disease and its related disorders.
Aims: The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of degraded lipid parameters all over region and in urban vs rural area. This lipid prevalence in urban and rural area was performed to discover the relationship between dyslipidemia prevalence and urban and rural area which was scientifically deliberated.
Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Place and Duration of Study: Civil Hospital and two months.
Methodology: The research study abides the randomized controlled trial comprising of males and females of 18-50 years of age suffering from ruined lipid profile levels. Blood samples were collected from the subjects so as to measure their lipid levels. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical analysis.
Results: The present research study highlighted that high prevalence of raised total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and reduced HDL cholesterol levels was observed among dyslipidemic subjects all over the region which were accounted to be 77.64%, 51.88%, 75.41% and 5.84%, correspondingly. Its prevalence was also noted scientifically in urban area vs rural area which were found to be 45.21% vs 32.43%, 26.53% vs 25.35%, 45.35% vs 30.06%, 3.23% vs 2.61%, respectively. Results discovered that non-significant association was found between degraded lipid parameters and urban & rural area.
Conclusion: The study concludes by ascertaining that population has a huge metabolic burden of degraded lipid parameters. And this ruined lipid load was also observed in urban area on the grounds of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Elated HDL cholesterol levels were also noted in urban area as compared to rural. But results highlighted that no scientific support was observed about the amplified prevalence in urban area in contrast with rural area.
