Article in English | IMSEAR | ID: sea-157524
ABSTRACT

Background:

Several studies have investigated the relationships of lipid levels with psychiatric patients and their results revealed an association between lipid derangement and psychiatric disorders. The aim of our study is to evaluate the lipid profile alteration in psychiatric disorder and compare with normal control. Materials and

Methods:

This study was conducted at People’s College of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bhopal. Sixty newly diagnosed psychiatric patients were included in this study and compare with 40 normal subjects. In both the groups we have measured lipid profile which includes serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL), and cardiovascular risk factors (R-1and R2).

Results:

The levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C and risk factors in psychiatric patients was significantly increased as compared to control group (p<0.05). While serum HDL-C level was significantly decreased in test group (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:

In our study it is clearly evident that psychiatric disorders are associated with significantly higher levels of lipids (constituents of lipid profile) and risk factors for coronary heart disease.
