Prevalence of Dyslipidemia and other Complications among the Type-2 Diabetic Patients in Bangladesh

Abstract

Dyslipidemia and other complications are very much common among the diabetic patients in Bangladesh. Sedentary lifestyle and uncontrolled dietary behavior play significant roles to cause these complications among the diabetic patients. Thus, this study intends to identify the prevalence of dyslipidemia and other complications among the type2 iabetic patients in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was conducted among selected 138 admitted patients with type 2 diabetes in the medicine ward of a public medical college and hospital in Bangladesh. Their serum lipid profile and health checkup were conducted to assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia and other complications. Among all the respondents, 79.0% (109) had dyslipidemia and 43.0% (59) had different diabetes related complications. A total of 37.0% (51) respondents were having high serum cholesterol, 57.0% (79) respondents were having high serum triglyceride, 59.0% (81) respondents had raised LDL-C and 35.0% (48) respondents had raised HDL-C. Most of the respondents were found with dyslipidemia and nearly half of the respondents had diabetes related complications. Thus, the findings indicate the need of appropriate interventions to address the risk factors so that dyslipidemia and other complications can be managed and controlled timely and effectively
