| dc.description.abstract | Objective: To study the lipid pattern of Nepalese population Design: Retrospective study Setting: Patients attending Temple of Healing for consultation Methods: Fasting lipid profile of 2218 blood samples was analyzed. Results: Abnormal total cholesterol(TC) was found in 7.7%. High LDL cholesterol(LDL-C) was found in 5% of cases. 70% of subjects had triglyceride(TG) level more than the upper level of normal. All abnormal lipid level was found in the age group 49-60years. 23% of the study group had low level of HDL cholesterol. Conclusions: abnormal triglyceride level is the commonest lipid abnormality in our population. High total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol is not very common except in the age group 40-49 where it is significantly high in comparison to other age groups. HDL cholesterol level did not decrease significantly with increasing age. Keywords: Lipids, Nepalese population | |
