Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome can be described as a clustering of multiple risk factors that include obesity, physical inactivity and genetic factors Aims and Objectives: To study of prevalence of hyperlipidaemia metabolic syndrome and IHD among hypertensive patients at tertiary health care centre. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study among the hypertensive patients at tertiary health care centre during the one year period i.e. January 2018 to January 2019. All the patients attending the OPD or admitted IPD of a tertiary health care centre during the one year were screened for hypertension those patients who were known patients of hypertension and taking antihypertensive treatment were enrolled for the study. ATP III 5 criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome .The data was entered to excel sheet and analyzed by excel software for windows 10. Result: In our study we have seen that The majority of the patients were in the age group of 50-60 were 28.72%, followed by 40-50 were 24.47%, 60-70 were 20.21%, 70-80 were 12.77%, >80 were 8.51%, 30-40 were 5.32%. The majority of the patients were Male i.e. 55.32 % followed by Female 44.68%. As per prevalence of lipid profile deranged Total cholesterol (mg/dl>200) found in 66%, followed by deranged LDL (mg/dl>130) in 54%, deranged Triglyceride (mg/dl >150) in 95%, HDL (mg/dl<40) in 74%, VLDL (mg/dl >30) in 94%. As per the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome the patients with metabolic syndrome were 39.00%. The prevalence of IHD was 13% among the hypertensive patients. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in our study was 39% and prevalence of IHD was 13% and derangement of Lipid profile was found among the patients.
