UNDERSTANDING THE LINK BETWEEN THE PREVALENCE OF DYSLIPIDEMIA, HYPERTENSION AND DIABETES

Abstract

Background: BMI (body mass index) is a standard measurement that divides an individual's weight by their height to
determine if they are within a healthy weight range. It is critical to understand the link between diabetes, hypertension,
and dyslipidemia.
Aim: The current study sought to examine the relationship between the prevalence of dyslipidemia, hypertension, and
diabetes mellitus in the Indian setting.
Methods: The current study analysed BMI distribution in individuals with diabetes mellitus who visited the Institute
throughout the study period, and BMI distribution was compared between participants with and without dyslipidemia or
hypertension. Improper insulin production alters carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism and is characterized by
hyperglycemia, which is commonly referred to as diabetes mellitus (DM).
Results: The study found that participants with diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher Body Mass Index than those
in the control group. There is a statistically significant positive association between MDA, cholesterol, and glycated
hemoglobin levels in study individuals.
Conclusion: The current study suggests that maintaining normal MDA (malondialdehyde) levels and body weight is
critical for the treatment and prevention of vascular problems in people with type 2 diabetes. However, more large-scale
and long-term investigations are required to corroborate the findings of the current study.
