A Study of Lipid Profile in Non-Diabetics with Stroke

ABSTRACT

Aim: The aim is to study the serum lipid profile in non-diabetics with stroke and to determine the significant correlation betweenthem.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients period of 12 months from May 2018–June 2019,Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital for 6 months. Patients and controls were tested for fasting lipid profile 12 h after overnightfast. Participants were 60 patients of non-diabetic stroke and 60 controls. Among the 60 patients, 37 were male and 23 werefemale. In controls, there were 37 males and 23 females. Age- and sex-matched controls were selected. Stroke patients withinfarct or hemorrhage in computed tomography brain were included in the study.Results: In this study, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides were significantlyassociated with the risk of stroke. In this study, 56.7% of patients had high-density lipoprotein <40 mg/dl, 41.7% had TC>200 mg/dl, 65% of them had LDL cholesterol >100 mg/dl, and 43.3% of patients had very LDL >30 mg/dl.
