ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Lipid abnormalities are common in patients with hypertension. The prevalence of isolated lipid abnormalities is not known in normotensive and hypertensive population of north-west India.METHODS:
We studied the prevalence of isolated low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (IL-HDLC), isolated high low density lipoprotein cholesterol (IH-LDLC) and isolated high triglycerides (IH-TG) abnormalities among rural and urban normotensive and hypertensives of north-west India.RESULTS:
The prevalence of lipid abnormalities was 47.6% and 51.4% in rural normotensives and hypertensives and 43.8% and 46.8% in urban normotensives and hypertensives respectively. The prevalence of IL-HDLC varied from 3.8% to 23.7% among hypertensives and 19.4% to 30.4% among normotensives. The prevalence of IH-TG abnormalities was 11.8% to 18.8% among hypertensives and 7.0% to 15.4% among hypertensives. The prevalence of isolated high LDLC abnormalities was low (0.8-9.2%). There was no significant difference in these abnormalities in relation to age and sex except IH-LDLC in male hypertensives.CONCLUSION:
Isolated low HDLC and isolated high TG were the commonest isolated lipid abnormalities among rural and urban population of north-west India whereas isolated high LDLC was uncommon.
