Background: Hypertension and variations from the norm of lipid profile frequently coincide. Irregularities in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are perceived major modifiable cardiovascular disease and basic hypertension hazard factors. The target of this investigation was to examine relationship between Lipid Profile and Hypertension.

Materials and Methods: Sixty recently diagnosed adult hypertensive patients and an equivalent number of age-and sex-coordinated controls without hypertension were continuously enlisted from the hospital in North India. Full history was taken, clinical examination was done and different laboratory examinations were carried for all people in the two groups which incorporates serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol(TC), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL).Height and weight were measured with the subject in light garments without shoes, and Body Mass Index (BMI) (Kg/m²) was calculated.

Result: The mean age was (47.6 ± 7.5) year; (48.7± 6.4) year for hypertensive and control people. The hypertensive patients had essentially higher weight record than controls. All the lipid parts TC, TGL, LDL, VLDL, HDL were higher in the hypertensive patients than those in the sound controls. Most extreme occurrence of hypertension was seen in the age group 40-49 years. The triglyceride level was fundamentally higher in the male than female hypertensives.

Conclusion: This investigation demonstrated that lipid variations are highly prevalent among newly diagnosed hypertensives. There are biologic interrelations between BP and blood lipids that may impact the systems whereby blood pressure is related with danger of coronary heart disease.
