Background: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are well-established and partially overlapping risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Hypertension affects nearly 26% of the adult population worldwide and is an important independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular accidents and death. The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and Hypertension is rapidly increasing in developing countries. Hypertension has been reported to be responsible for 57% of all stroke deaths and 24% of all cardiovascular deaths in East Asians. Objective: To compare the lipid profile of hypertensive patients with normotensive individuals and socio-demographic and dyslipidemia patterns in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. Methodology: A total of 167 hypertensive patients. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. An equal number of normotensive individuals were selected at Hypertension & Research Center, Rangpur and the Department of Medicine, Rangpur medical college hospital, Rangpur, from February 2013 to November 2013. Consecutive purposive sampling method and fasting lipid profile was done. Informed written consent was taken from the patient and the normotensive individual. Results: In this study, we studied a total of 334 patients; among them, 167 were hypertensive, and an equal number of normotensive individuals. The age range for hypertensive patients was 20-89 years, whereas for normotensive patients was 20-80. The mean age of the study population was 47.58 (SD±12.027) for the hypertensive group and 40.29 (SD±15.493) for the normotensive group. Males were dominant in both hypertensive (57.5% Vs 42.5%) and normotensive individuals (66.5% Vs 33.5%). The hypertensive population lived more in urban areas (55.6% vs 53.29%). Conclusion: Sub-categorized serum lipid profile as this study shows exceptionally high total cholesterol, high triglycerides and borderline LDL-cholesterol levels are positively associated with Hypertension. Higher lipids levels may be attributed to physical inactivity and stress. So timely lipid profile assessment is necessary in all hypertensive cases, especially in northern Bangladesh, to stop further aggravation and risks of coronary artery diseases.
