Lipid abnormalities are major risk factors for premature coronary artery diseases. We investigated serum lipids andthe prevalence of dyslipidemia in urban adult population in Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh. We studied 1496individuals 20–90 years of age. Health status was determined by questionnaires and physical check-ups. Totalcholesterol (TC), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and total triglycerides (TGs) were measured. TC>5.7 mmol/L, LDL-C >3.6 mmol/L, TGs >1.7 mmol/L, and HDL-C <0.9 mmol/L were defined as abnormal. Meanserum TC, LDL-C, and TG concentrations were increased. 52.7% of males and 42.9% of females having at least oneabnormal lipid concentration. HDL-C was abnormally low in 7% of males and in 1.6% of females. The prevalence ofhypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and abnormally low HDL-C, especially the presence of slighthypertriglyceridemia, were higher in all age groups. The increase was most prominent in the middle age group (40–59 years). Hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and abnormally low HDL-C have increased considerably overthe past 10 years in urban adult populations in Warangal district, Andhra Pradesh. Dietary changes and less physicalactivity resulting from rapid improvements in living conditions may be the causes for the increases. Enhancedpreventive measures should be undertaken to modify these situations. |
