Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the association between age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and incidence of
symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections in adult women and to study the impact of infection on lipid profile.
Methods: A total of 30 women enrolled with symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections and 10 healthy women as control group. Mid-stream urine
samples were submitted. BMI, WC, and lipid profile were measured. Both leukocyte esterase and nitrite tests were used to diagnose the urinary tract
infection, and viable quantification was done as confirmatory for the diagnosis.
Results: Revealed that there was a significant relationship between the incidence of symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections and age groups
(p=0.04) as age group (21-30) years recorded the highest percentage (33.33%) followed by the age group (31-40) which recorded 30%. No significant
association was found between BMI, WC and incidence of symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections (p=0.08, p=0.14) respectively. Compared
to healthy control group, there was a significant decrease in the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density-lipoprotein, very-low-densitylipoprotein,
and low-density-lipoprotein (p=0.0001, p=0.006, p=0.001, p=0.006, and p=0.0001), respectively.
Conclusion: The young women were significantly susceptible to symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections than other age groups. Both BMI and
WC were not significant indicators for the incidence of symptomatic bacterial urinary tract infections in adult women. Adult women with symptomatic
bacterial urinary tract infections showed a significant decrease in lipid profile parameters when compared with the control healthy adult women.
Keywords: Age, Body mass index, Waist circumference, Lipid profile, Urinary tract infections.
