Background: Smoking leads to deranged lipid profile which in turn leads to atherosclerosis which itself is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events.
Aims and Objective: We aimed to compare mean lipid profile among smokers and non smokers presenting in medical OPD of a large tertiary care hospital.
Material and Methods: It was a descriptive, observational cross-sectional study conducted at Mayo Hospital, Lahore from 20th May 2020 to 19th November 2020. A total of 137 males presented in medical OPD for routine checkup of age 25-65 years were included. Patients already taking lipid lowering drugs, alcoholics, CRF & CLD were excluded. After informed, written consent, patients were divided into smokers and non-smokers and 3 ml blood sample of each patient was taken and sent to the institutional laboratory for measuring the serum lipid levels. Measured levels were statistically analyzed.
Results: In our study, frequency of smokers in patients presenting in medical OPD was found in 37 (27.08%) patients. In my study, We found that mean serum total cholesterol (271.33±19.43 mg/dl), triglyceride (187.29±13.67 mg/dl), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (177.65±13.24 mg/dl), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (39.37±7.65 mg/dl) were higher in smokers than non-smokers which have mean serum total cholesterol (179.48±14.21 mg/dl), triglyceride (121.81±9.79 mg/dl), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (111.73±8.79 mg/dl), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (24.14±5.89 mg/dl). Whereas, mean serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower in smokers (41.68±3.61 mg/dl) as compared to non-smokers (52.51±5.29 mg/dl).
Conclusion: Our study concluded that frequency of smokers was 27.08% with deranged lipid profile in male smokers as compared to non-smokers
