dc.description.abstractBackground: Dyslipidemia is a key independent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and one of the main causes of the disease burden in developed and developing countries. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to elicit the proportion of dyslipidemia and its risk factors among the adult population of North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Materials and Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 adults during August–October 2017 in Habra, an urban area of West Bengal, India. Sociodemographic data were obtained from structured questionnaire, followed by anthropometric measurement, fasting glucose, and lipid profile estimation. Assessment of dyslipidemia was determined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (III) guidelines. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were performed to analyze the data using SPSS 16 version. Results: The mean (standard deviation) age of the participants was 43.1 (±12.4) years. About 37.5% were found to have dyslipidemia. Variables which continued to remain significant in the multivariable analysis were less physical activity (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.75 [1.41, 5.39]), ever user of tobacco (AOR = 2.36 [1.12, 4.97]), hypertension (AOR = 2.52 [1.11, 5.71]), abnormal waist-hip ratio (AOR = 43.85 [21.62, 88.92]), and diabetes (AOR = 2.51[1.20, 6.69]) when adjusted for other variables in the multivariable analysis. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is a known risk factor for CVD. Therefore, all steps must be taken for control and prevention of this disorder.en_US
