Background: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and refers to lipid abnormalities such as high total cholesterol (TC), elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), hypertriglyceridemia, low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).Due to the scarcity of data, we performed a descriptive study so as to understand the pattern of lipid profile in an urban city in North India and the risk of obesity running in them. __ampersandsignnbsp;Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed by collecting data from three private hospitals in the city from January 1, 2014 till June 31, 2014. Patients who satisfied our inclusion criteria were included in the study. Participants of the study underwent standard hematological testing along with variables about their past medical history and anthropometric measurements were taken. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: 636 patients were included in the study. 54% of the patients were males, 64% less than 65 years of age, 35% were overweight and 16% were obese. 33% were taking some form of lipid lowering drug. 67% had TC __ampersandsignlt; 200 mg%, LDL-C __ampersandsignlt; 130 mg% and HDL-C __ampersandsigngt; 40 mg%. TC, LDL-C and triglycerides were found to be significantly associated with age and body mass index of the patient. Conclusion: This was the first study in the region to look at the baseline lipid profile of patients. Assessing dietary habits, nutritional status of patients, genetic make up and environmental factors and correlating that with their lipid profile variables would be the next step and would constitute areas of future research.
