- W2314652922 abstract "Background: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality world -wide. Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, which can be identified and managed appropriately. Objective: The objective of the following study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of dyslipidemia in a rural community in Southern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A cross -sectional study among members of Udo community in Ovia south -west local government area of Edo State. Questionnaires were administered to willing participants. Data obtained were age, sex, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP). Fasting blood samples were collected to determine blood sugar and serum lipid levels. Results: A total of 161 apparently healthy adults were involved in the study (60 men and 101 women) with a mean age of 48 ± 16.6 years. Hypertension was observed in 31 (19.3%), elevated fasting blood sugar in 7 (4.3%) and 30 (18.6%) were obese. The prevalence of elevated total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL -C), triglycerides (TGs) and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL -C) was 31.7%, 18.6%, 8.7% and 10.6% respectively. TC and LDL -C correlated positively with age, BMI and BP. Mean TC, LDL -C and TG levels was higher in obese participants compared with those with normal BMI. Hypertensive participants had higher mean TC and LDL -C than those with normal BP. Conclusion: Elevated TC was the most common form of dyslipidemia in this study while high TGs were the least. Low HDL -C was not common in this population of rural dwellers." @default.
