STUDY OF LIPID P STUDY OF LIPID PROFILE IN OBESE AND NON-OBESE SUBJECT

Abstract

Introduction: The lipid profile is a blood test done to assess the status of fat metabolism in the body. This includes measuring lipids (fats) and its derivatives known as lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are compounds containing fat and proteins and include free cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides, phospholipids and Apoproteins. Objective: To study the alteration of lipid profile in obese patient and to evaluate the lipid profile in non-obese and obese patient in different age
Material & methods: The study was carried out in Physiology department of Smt.N.H.L.M.Medical College & V.S. general hospital, during a time period from June 2008 to November 2010. Total sixty five obese subjects, coming for health check up at our institute ,were selected for this study .The age group of subjects is between 20-70 yrs.
Results and Conclusion: For these study total 100 cases were taken out of which 65 are obese and 35 were non-obese. From our study it is quite evident that majority of obese are above 40 yrs of age. In both the group males are more than females it could be possible that males may go in for investigations earlier as compared to females.
