Abstract
Background: Dyslipidemia is defined as defect or over production of lipoprotein, it is a consequence of obesity. Dyslipidemia can result in several complications and diseases including stroke, cardiovascular diseases and arthrosclerosis. The prevalence of both obesity and dyslipidemia are increasing as a result of change in dietary content and change in life styles. Aim: To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia in obese patients. Methods: The study included 150 participants who were divided into 2 groups; the obese group and non-obese group. Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides were estimated for all individuals. Results: There were 90 obese person and 60 non-obese individuals. The mean± SD of TC for non-obese participants and obese was 191±12.7 mg/dl and 234.5±14.2 mg/dl respectively (P-value=0.04), while for LDL was 97.2± 5.4 mg/dl for non-obese and 166± 7.3 mg/dl for obese (P-value=0.02). Triglycerides mean ± SD for non-obese was 117.7±5.3 mg/dl and for obese was 160.7±12.4 mg/dl (P-value=0.012), regarding HDL mean± SD was 117.7± 7.2 mg/dl for non-obese and 160.8± 12.6 mg/dl for obese individuals (P-value=0.044). Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidemia was high in obese patients and the most common type was hypertriglyceridemia.
