PATTERN OF DYSLIPIDEMIA IN ADULT DIABETIC SUBJECTS IN THE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL OF DISTRICT SWAT
Abstract
Background: The incidence of diabetes is growing at dramatic rates around the word and itscomplications are associated with significant health and financial burdens, warranting strong and
comprehensive prevention efforts. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of
dyslipidemia in the adult diabetic patients in Saidu Teaching Hospital, Saidu Sharif, Swat.
Methods: The study comprised of 100 subjects, 50 subjects with diabetes and 50 (non-diabetic)
controls. The serum Cholesterol, Triglycerides, High-density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (HDL-C)
and Low-density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C), blood sugar (random and fasting), blood
pressure (systolic and diastolic) of Diabetic subjects were compared with Control subjects.
Results: Diabetic subjects had high mean value of Triglycerides and LDL-C (but statistically nonsignificant), low level of HDL-C (statistically highly significant) and high blood pressure as
compared to Control subjects. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is a potent predictor of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Dyslipidemia, Blood pressure
