A study of serum lipid profile in undernourished patients of diabetes mellitus
Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & objective: The incidence of diabetes mellitus is increasing substantially worldwide. The latest estimates by the international diabetes federation project that 592 million (1 in 10 persons) worldwide will have diabetes mellitus by 2035. According to the official WHO data, India tops the list of countries with the highest number of diabetics. The aim of the study is to find the serum lipid profile in undernourished patients. To compare the lipid profile of undernourished patients with those who have either normal weight or are obese. Material and method: This study was carried out on 150 patients of diabetes mellitus with varying nutritional status and 60 control, below 50 years with varying nutritional status, who were not suffering from any medical illness. Selection of the cases was done as per inclusion and exclusion criteria, different tests are performed as per the need of the study. Results: Different tests are performed, comparison was done and the conclusion is withdrawn. Conclusion: Undernourished diabetics show lower levels of serum lipids than normal weight and obese diabetics while serum HDL-cholesterol levels are higher in undernourished diabetics, it is apparent that undernourished diabetic subjects are endowed with a lipid profile apparently less prone for atherosclerosis.
