Description

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare blood lipid levels in healthy young males and girls accepted to a general population who fell into one of three BMI categories (underweight, normal, and overweight).

Methods: In the duration of Two months in 2022, general population of Etawah district, U.P., India.

Results: surveyed 100 (male and female) randomly selected people aged 20 to 30 years, were selected as volunteers because they were in good health. Subjects were categorised as underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (BMI 18.5-22.9 kg/m2), or overweight (BMI>23kg/m2) based on their BMI values. The average levels of different types of lipids in the serum of 100 people were as, Cholesterol: 154.7±24.3 mg/dl LDL-C: 92.6±24.7 mg/dl VLDL: 17.8±4.9 mg/dl Triglycerides: 81.6±22.8 mg/dl and HDL-C: 49.5 ±5.1 mg/dl. People had a mean body mass index of 21.8±4.6 5 kg/m2 of the total study group of 100, 32 had a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5 kg/m2 28 had a BMI between 18.5 to 22.9 kg/m2 and 40 were overweight. As a matter of fact, there was no link between any of the lipid profile variables and body mass index that may be statistically significant.

Conclusion: The findings of this study led us to the conclusion that obesity affects a considerable proportion of the population of young people. This prevalence may be attributable to a lack of awareness and unhealthy lifestyles hence, health education and additional preventative measures should lower the incidence of obesity and cardiovascular risks in our society by modifying the lifestyles of people.
