Abstract
Background: In type 2 diabetes mellitus lipid abnormalities are very common and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study was conducted to find association of type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at KISTMCTH. All the necessary data of patient with type 2 diabetes in the period between December 2016 and May 2017 were studied.Results: Out of 199 patients with diabetes mellitus 30.7% had total cholesterol >200 mg/dl, 64.4% had elevated low density lipoprotein, 53.77% patient had elevated triglyceride and 64% patients had low high density lipoprotein level. Cholesterol showed significant correlation with triglyceride (P < 0.001), low density lipoprotein (P < 0.001). Triglyceride showed a significant negative correlation with high density lipoprotein (P < 0.01), while a highly significant positive correlation was observed with cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (P < 0.001).Conclusion: Diabetes is associated with high incidence of dyslipidemia with elevated level of low density lipoprotein, cholesterol and triglyceride.
Highlights
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a marked increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
Individuals with T2DM have an absolute risk of major coronary events similar to that of non diabetic individual with established coronary heart disease (CHD).[1]
Most of the patients with type 2 diabetes were in the age group 46-55yrs (29.14%) followed by 36-45yrs age group (27.63%)
Summary
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a marked increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Individuals with T2DM have an absolute risk of major coronary events similar to that of non diabetic individual with established coronary heart disease (CHD).[1] after an acute coronary event, diabetic subject develop congestive heart failure more frequently and have a higher mortality rate than non diabetic individual.[2,3] A greater burden of risk factor is at least partly responsible for the increased risk of CHD in diabetes. Dyslipidemia is a well recognized and modifiable risk factor that should be identified early to institute aggressive cardiovascular preventive management. In type 2 diabetes mellitus lipid abnormalities are very common and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study was conducted to find association of type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia
