Comparison of Lipid Profile in Type-2 Obese Diabetics and Obese Non-diabetic Individuals. A hospital Based Study from Western Nepal

Abstract: BackgroundType-2 diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease and risk of coronary disease is three to four fold increased in patients with diabetes compared with non-diabetic population and 60-80% 0f type-2 diabetics are obese. MethodsThis study was conducted in Nepalgunj Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur, Banke, Nepal, between 1st March, 2011 and 28th February, 2012. A total of 150 samples were taken to assess the lipid profile in type-2 diabetic patients associated with obesity and… Show more

“…In a study obese type-2 diabetic patients when compared to obese control subjects showed statistically significant increase in the levels of serum total cholesterol (p < 0.001), serum triglycerides (p < 0.001), serum LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001) while serum HDL-cholesterol levels did not show statistically significant difference in the two group (p > 0.05) [28]. Another study showed that obesity is permanently associated with unhealthy lipid profile characterized by high triglycerides and LDL-C, and low HDL-C [2].…”

“…Over 300 million people are estimated to be obese. As a result, up to 1.7 billion of the world's population is at an increased risk of other lifethreatening diseases such as heart attack and stroke [4,5]. Obesity means accumulation of excess fat on the body.…”

“…Furthermore, Yadav et al [21], who compared obese diabetic and obese non-diabetic patients regarding their lipid parameters, found that the former group experienced statistically significant increase in the levels of serum total cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum LDLcholesterol while serum HDL-cholesterol levels did not show statistically significant difference in the two groups. This latter finding in particular opposes the results of our study and may be explained by the different clinical and laboratory characteristics of the studied populations.…”
