Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform. They play an important role in energy storage and signaling. Objectives: This study aims to observe and compare the effects of serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels between housewives and working women. Materials and methods: 20 housewives and 20 working women subjects were selected. Data was collected through clinical evaluation, questionnaires, and lab investigations. Parametric tests, independent sample t-tests, and non-parametric Mann-Whitney tests have been applied to see the difference between the two groups. Results: The mean BMI is similar in both housewives and working women (p-value is 0.28). The mean total cholesterol levels are higher in the housewives group when compared to the working women group, but this difference is not found to be significant (p-value is 0.315).The mean HDL level is similar in both the housewives group and the working group (p-value is 0.778). Conclusion: There is no significant statistical difference in serum lipid profile and BMI in both housewives and working women. Maybe because of the small sample size, our study couldn’t find significant differences between the groups
