Abstract

Since cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are posing a major health hazard with high grade mortality rate, it necessitated a careful study of lipid profile, the main risk factor. Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of many vascular diseases including coronary artery disease (CAD). Our study aimed to evaluate the reference interval of lipid profile in healthy population of Perambalur, middle district of Southern Tamil Nadu. Fasting blood samples of 986 healthy Tamil population of Perambalur District whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is normal, were tested for lipid profile, i.e. Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TGL), High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and Very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). The mean values obtained for TC, TGL, LDL-C showed an increase trend with age, while HDL-C level showed a decrease with the age. In case of women above 60 years, Cholesterol level and LDL-C was found to be increased. Our study suggests that clinical assessment of patient should be made on the basis of these reference values for Middle East population of Tamil Nadu.
