Abstract

In the present study the rural population of gannavaram was selected and 243 fasting blood samples were collected from the male and female patients who are suffering with one or other clinical symptoms of heart problem. The patients were analyzed for serum lipid profile i.e. Total Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol, Triglycerol (Tg), LDL-Cholesterol and VLDL-Cholesterol. The people were categorized according to their gender and age. The overall male patients are 146 and females are 97 in number. These peoples are separated by age groups like <40 yrs (male:35, & female:31), 41–60 yrs (male:82, & female:55), >61 yrs (male:29, & female:11). The values obtained (Mean ± SE) in <40 yrs male and female are Total Cholesterol was 198±3.9 mg/dl, 213±2.5* mg/dl, HDL-Cholesterol was 37±0.64 mg/dl, 38±1.2 mg/dl, Triglycerol (Tg) was 197±2.3* mg/dl, 204±2.2* mg/dl, LDL- Cholesterol was 144±2.5* mg/dl, 119±3.2 mg/dl and VLDL-Cholesterol was 28±1.65 mg/dl, 32±1.3 mg/dl. The values obtained in 41–60 yrs male and female are Total Cholesterol was 200±2.2, mg/dl 228±3.9 mg/dl, HDL-Cholesterol was 40±0.8 mg/dl, 39±1.1 mg/dl, Triglycerol (Tg) was 194±2.3* mg/dl, 211±2.3* mg/dl, LDL- Cholesterol was 141±3.8 mg/dl,129±2.7 mg/dl and VLDL-Cholesterol was 28±1.7 mg/dl, 31±0.86 mg/dl. The values obtained in >61 yrs male and female are Total Cholesterol was 192±2.5* mg/dl, 224±2.4* mg/dl, HDL-Cholesterol was 38±1.01 mg/dl, 40±2.7 mg/dl, Triglycerol (Tg) was 191±2.1* mg/dl, 204±2.2* mg/dl, LDL- Cholesterol was 134±2.3* mg/dl, 125±3.4 mg/dl and VLDL-Cholesterol was 28±2.4 mg/dl, 30±1.4 mg/dl. The lipid profile significantly varies in the age group of 41–60 years in male and female patients where as there is no significance seen in the reaming age groups. But there is slight variation seen in the male and female with different age groups. Ultimately the age group 41-60yrs is the risk factor.
