Obesity-mediated perturbations in haematologic values of HDLC in randomised middle-aged and geriatric population of Darbhanga, Bihar

In the given backdrop of the increasing vulnerability of-urbanite middle-aged and older subjects to ageing-related disabilities including cardiovascular-complications, haematologic values of HDLC were-determined in both the genders of randomized middle-aged and geriatric population (n=460) residing in Darbhanga, Bihar using standardized laboratory-technique to assess the interventional impact of-increasing age and obesity on cardioprotective properties-ofHDLC Two age brackets (45–59 and 60–75 years) and-two BMf-linked obesity groups viz., normal weight and-overweight/obese were considered in the present-investigation. The marked decline recorded in the Mean HDL Cvalues of the overweight/obese group in contrast-to the normal weight group in both genders could be-though responsible for aggravating dyslipidemic trends-posing a serious threat to cardiovascular wellness. Because of notable findings and reported high cardiac death risks in modern times, a protein-rich high fibre vegan diet and moderate-to-high physical activity are recommended to curb the devastating trend of weight gain considering the little scope of reversal of ageinduced pathophysiologic perturbations.
