Abstract
Dyslipidemia with hypertension is associated with
atherosclerosis and higher risk of coronary vascular
diseases. The study was conducted to find out the effect
of physical activity in dyslipidemia pattern in hypertension
who visited the medicine OPD in MGM Medical College
Kishanganj.
Mean value of lipid fractions in physically active
hypertensive’s were: T-CH=174mg/dl, HDL-CH = 41.4mg/
dl ,TG = 168mg/dl, VLDL-CH = 34mg/dl, LDL-CH =
111mg/dl and in sedentary hypertensives were: TCH =
266mg/dl, HDLCH = 31mg/dl, TG = 202mg/dl, VLDL-CH
= 40mg/dl, LDL-CH = 200mg/dl. There was a significant
difference in dyslipedemia pattern between physically active
and sedentary hypertensive. The difference between two
groups were considered as significant at p<0.05.
The study highlighted the emerging importance of
physical activity in lipid profiles of hypertensive and due
emphasis should be paid by healthcare professionals for
educating the patient’s behaviour on physical activity.
