Abstract

Introduction: Serum lipid profile is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It also affected by the sex of the individuals. The present study was targeted to see the variation of serum lipid profile in both male and female.

Aims and Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the serum lipid profile between male and female young adult. Materials and methods: The study was carried on 100 healthy subjects. The age, weight, height, body mass index and waist circumference of the subjects were noted and TC,TG, HDL, LDL were estimated in each subject.

Result: In the present study it was found that male subjects had higher level of TC, TG, LDL, and HDL than the female subjects.

Conclusion: The lower level of TC, TG, HDL and LDL in case of female subjects were due to effect of oestrogen but higher level in case of male raise the concern for implementation of life style modification.

Keywords: Total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), High density lipoprotein (HDL), Low density lipoprotein (LDL).
