| Popis: | Epidemiological study is a simple, reliable method for quantifying body size and proportions. This study was aimed to evaluate the association of selected & established demographic parameters of patients with Hyperlipidemia in a rural hospital set up. This study was a hospital-based cross sectional study conducted in patients with newly diagnosed Hyperlipidemia in an age group of 30 to 70 years attending Cardiology Department of a tertiary care hospital in south India. Based on the lipid profile, the subjects were grouped into Normal and Test groups and demographic data and serum lipid profile were recorded in previously designed Data Collection form and statistically analyzed. The result from this study shows that the body weight, height, Body Mass Index and waist circumference of the test population were significantly higher than that of the control population. Also Fasting Blood sugar level, Systolic BP and Diastolic BP were found to be significantly higher in Test group when it compares with the control group. Based on the result from this study, we shall conclude that Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, Fasting Blood Sugar, and Blood Pressure are very sensitive indices for predicting the elevated biomarkers of Hyperlipidemia. |
