A medical disorder known as dyslipidemia is characterised by abnormal blood lipid (fat) levels, such as elevated triglycerides or cholesterol. The risk of heart disease, stroke, and other illnesses may rise as a result of this imbalance. Medication, exercise, and nutrition are frequently used to treat it.
High levels of triglycerides, low levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), and higher levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) are the hallmarks of this illness. Dyslipidemia, known as the "silent killer" since it has no symptoms, is a key marker for cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease.
The overall quantity of cholesterol, which comprises low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and a percentage of triglycerides, is subsequently determined by lab analysis of the sample.
The recommended minimal cholesterol level is less than 100 mg/DL, or milligrammes of sugar per deciliter.
Even while elevated cholesterol is quite common nationwide, metropolitan regions bear a disproportionate share of this burden.
According to the study conducted by CSI, low levels of HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol) were seen in people living in almost all states of india except Rajasthan, Gujarat, telangana and Manipur.
Whereas high LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) was the highest in the northern region, Kerala, and Goa.
