Comparative Study of Serum Lipid Profile Of Obese And Non-Obese Students (Male) Of Aljouf University

Abstract: Background: The prevalence of obesity has risen dramatically in past several decades. Hormonal and genetic factor are rarely the cause of childhood obesity. Because obese adult may suffer lifelong physical and emotional consequences, this imperative to discuss prevention with parents during well-child examinations. Objectives: Purpose of the study was to compare the Serum lipid profile of obese and non-obese males. Materials and methods: Twenty two male students were selected from AL-Jouf University. Their age… Show more

“…In this study, there was a significant increase in total cholesterol, LDL-C, non-HDL-C and triglycerides in obese subjects with and without diabetes, while HDL-C was significantly decreased. The significant differences in lipid profile markers between the healthy and obese non-diabetic groups was in agreement with the study of Khan and Khaleel [ 37 ], who conducted a study on the Saudi population, while the study of Songa et al [ 38 ] showed no significant differences in lipid profile markers between healthy and obese non-diabetic groups. This was not in accord with the current results.…”

“…These results are in accordance with the study of Khan et al, which found significantly higher LDL levels in obese men compared to non-obese men (p<0.05). 30 Aljaffar's research (2018) also found significantly higher LDL levels in the obese group compared to the non-obese group (p≤0.05). 31 Research by Kanwar et al found that there was a significant difference in LDL in the obese compared to non-obese groups with p < 0.0001.…”

“…Adverse lipid changes associated with weight gain are implicated in the development cardiovascular complications with a high mortality and morbidity. 8 Nutritional manipulation of lipid profile is an emerging modality with therapeutic and preventive value. The present study looked at the effect of almond supplementation on serum lipid values in obese and overweight individuals and compared them with adults having normal weight.…”

“…5,6 Obese and overweight individuals are generally more prone to metabolic disruptions such as hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and dyslipidemias. [7][8][9] Dyslipidemias are common in developed countries where obesity is more prevalent. 10 Dyslipidemias are a primary risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.…”
