The body mass index, blood pressure and lipid status in the ischemic heart disease

ABSTRACT

According to the literature changes in the body mass index, blood pressure and lipid level might be the risk factors for the ischemic heart disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the BMI (body mass index), blood pressure, lipid levels in the blood of the participants.The BMI and blood pressure were measured by World health organization’s standard methods. Low and high density lipoproteins(LDL, HDL), triglyceride, cholesterol, c reactive protein level were examined from the blood.The BMI of the case group was 26.3(±6) kg/m2, whereas in control group it was 24.8(±3.76) kg/m2. Lipid status was almost same between case group and control group. Also both groups was higher than normal level. The case group of 41.6% and control group of 17.3% are increased by all status triglyceride. The triglyceride level of the patients was 2.1(±2)mmol/l and 1.32(±0.88) mmol/l in control group. HDL level was 56.7(±16.38) in the case group and 50.4(±25.1) in control group. Almost same percentage of bough groups (39-40%) showed decreased level of HDL. 36% of ischemic patients and 40% of control group showed increased cholesterol level. The percentage of people ≥30 kg/m2 was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the case group. There were no significant difference in blood pressure, LDL, HDL and c reactive protein level between the groups. The triglyceride level in case group was significantly higher (p<0.05) than in control group.
