“…He D et al 22 64.54% discovered that dyslipidemia was present in 64.54% cases. Al-Mahmood AA et al 23 carried out a study in India and observed that dyslipidemia was present in 65.5% of hypertensive patients. These results are consistent with our findings and indicate a high proportion of hypertensive population is suffering from dyslipidemia.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of dyslipidemia in adults with newly diagnosed essential hypertension. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Medical Unit IV, Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: 25th June, 2022 to 25th Dec, 2022. Material & Methods: Fasting blood samples were taken from an antecubital vein and collected in Vacutainer tubes that had an anticoagulant EDTA from an antecubital vein. An auto analyzer was used to perform an enzymatic analysis on fasting plasma total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TG). Results: Among 332 study cases, 221 (66.6 %) were male patients while 111 (33.4 %) were female patients. Mean age of study cases was 50.01 ± 6.75 years. In our analysis, diabetes was found in 99 patients (29.8%). In 147 (44.3%) of the study cases, there was a family history of hypertension. Mean body mass index of our study cases was 27.56 ± 1.92 kg/m2 and 136 (41.0 %) of our study cases were obese. Mean systolic blood pressure was 157.85±15.19 mmHg while that of diastolic blood pressure was 109.35 ± 8.56 mmHg. Mean fasting cholesterol level was 192.86±35.96 mg/dl, HDL 42.58±4.38 mg/dl, LDL 125.43± 10.39 mg/dl and mean triglyceride level was 135.86 ± 13.69 mg/dl and in 181 patients (54.5%) were having dyslipidemias. Conclusion: Among patients with essential hypertension in our investigation, dyslipidemia was observed to be very common. Smoking, diabetes, residential status, and male gender were all strongly linked to dyslipidemia. To prevent future unfavorable cardiac events, which will safeguard patients from acquiring cardiovascular diseases and enhance their quality of life, all clinicians caring for such patients should routinely check their lipid profiles.

“…A recently published Berlin Aging Study II (BASEII) found that elderly individuals on lipid lowering medication had a higher prevalence of diabetes [ 10 ]. However, most published studies have reported a higher prevalence of HC among diabetic individuals [ 27 , 37 ]. A study conducted in Jeddah among primary healthcare employees reported that diabetic participants had a significant nine-fold increased risk of developing HC (OR = 9.27; 95% CI = 1.68–52.19, P = 0.019)[ 29 ].…”

“…Hypercholesterolemia (HC) is defined as a blood cholesterol level of > 200 mg/dL or > 5 mmol/L [ 27 ]. Non-obese or normal weight is defined as a BMI of < 25 kg/m 2 , and overweight denotes a BMI of ≥ 25 kg/m 2 , while a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m 2 falls within the obese category [ 28 ].…”

Background Hypercholesterolemia (HC) is an important precursor to many cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular diseases. A report conducted by the American Heart Association showed the prevalence of HC to be 11.9%, with around 28.5 million adults age ≥ 20 years having high cholesterol levels. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HC and its associated risk factors among the general population of Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted on the general population of Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia in 2016. The representative sample consisted of 1019 individuals, who all participated on a voluntary basis. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. Results The results of this study showed the prevalence of HC in the sample to be 12.5%. There was a significant moderate positive association between increasing age and the prevalence of HC (r = 0.240, P < 0.0001). Males had a significantly higher prevalence of HC (56.7%) compared to their female counterparts (43.3%) (X2 = 23.093, P ≤ 0.0001). BMI was positively and significantly associated with high cholesterol status. Participants in the overweight category had a significantly higher risk of HC (OR = 1.727; 95% CI = 1.58–1.914; P = 0.046). The non-obese (< 25 kg/m2) participants had an inverse significant association with the risk of hypercholesterolemia. (OR = 0.411; 95% CI = 0.216–0.783; P = 0.007). Conclusion In this population-based study, the predominant risk factors of HC in Al-Kharj region were being of a Saudi nationality, male, having obesity, being unemployed, and being a civilian worker. There is a clear need for future screening studies of HC, as most previous studies have reported contradictory prevalence data (because they were conducted in different regions of KSA). Furthermore, well-designed prospective cohort studies are needed in the future to assess how the association between lifestyle behavioural factors such as dietary intake patterns and levels of physical activity may affect the relative risk of HC status.
