 Objective: The objectives of this study is to assess the association of selected risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) with lipid profile.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during May 2013–April 2014 among 350 subjects of 25–64 years selected by systematic random sampling. Data on sociodemographic and medical and personal history along with anthropometric measurements were collected through house-to-house visit. Blood sample was analyzed for fasting blood sugar and lipid profile.
Results: In this study, 38.58% belong to the age group of 25–35 years and 58% were female. Majority (45.43%) of the participants belonged to lower socioeconomic status, followed by the middle (40.57%) and upper class (14%). It was observed that total cholesterol was significantly associated with blood sugar (p=0.0008), blood pressure (p=0.001), and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.018). There was no significant association among the risk factors of CHD such as smoking and alcohol with total cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein level was significantly associated with BMI (p=0.0001) and blood sugar (p=0.003). There was a significant association among the risk factors for CHD such as smoking (p=0.002), alcohol, (p=0.017) blood sugar (p=0.004), and BMI (p=0.014) with triglyceride level.
Conclusion: It was concluded from this study that various risk factors for CHD were associated with lipid abnormalities. Hence, a community-based education in this regard is of paramount importance.
