Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. Identifying high-risk individuals is a primary goal of cardiovascular disease prevention. The aim is to examine risk factor on assessing lipid profiles and blood pressure, both in obese and non-obese individuals. This study took place over a year at a Tertiary Care Hospital, were investigated the lipid profile and blood pressure of obese and non-obese participants aged 30-60 years. The obese group had an average age of 43.2±6.3 years compared to 45.1±5.8 years in the non-obese group, indicating a slightly older population in the obese group. The non-obese group had an average total cholesterol level of 193.7 mg/dL, with a total cholesterol (TC) level of 209.3 mg/dL. When it came to LDL cholesterol, the obese group had a higher level of 137.4 mg/dL compared to the non-obese group with 121.3 mg/dL. Conversely, HDL cholesterol levels were lower in the obese group at 44.1 mg/dL than in the non-obese group at 49.1 mg/dL. Obesity is associated with lipid metabolism and hypertension disturbances, especially with effect on HDL-C reduction and TC, TG, LDL cholesterol to high level. Thus, lipid profile and blood pressure among obese and non-obese individuals help in cardiovascular risk evaluation.
