Abstract
Background: Fibroids most common benign tumors arising from the myometrium of the uterus, was found that women with broids had signicantly higher levels of serum HDL-C compared with control groups. Aims : To compare the mean serum cholesterol level; mean HDL-C level andmean LDL- C level in patients with uterine broids with the control group. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted after taking consent from200 women in the age group of 30-50 years . Out of which 100 females with sonographic diagnosis of uterine broid were taken up as cases and 100 females in similar age group,demographically matched with no broids as control. Comparative study on lipid prole of both the group analysed. This study was conducted after receiving approval from institutional ethical committee . Results: In our study there was strong direct signicant correlation between largest broid volume (3cc) and HDL-C level (mg/dl) i.e. a p value of 0.0001and a r value of 0.671; clearly establishing the fact that patients with higher levels of HDL-C tended to have larger broids. Conclusion :All these ndings more favourable lipid prole in broid group, lower atherogenic index and the strong direct positive correlation.
