Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Tobacco use in form of smoking or smokeless is a major preventable cause of disease and premature death, currently leading to over 5 million deaths each year world wide. This study was conducted to find out the additive effect of tobacco chewing on lipid profile among smokers. Method: Serum lipid profile was studied in 30 control (non smoker and non tobacco chewer); 30 smokers and 30 smokers with tobacco chewer; Standard methods were adopted to measure lipid profile. Data were analyzed statistically. Result : mean serum HDL-cholesterol was lower both in smokers (p<0.01) and smokers with tobacco chewers (p<0.001) than controls. Smokers had higher values of total cholesterol , VLDL- cholesterol and triglycerides. Smokers with tobacco chewers had highly significant (p<0.001) raised triglycerides , LDL-cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol as compared to smokers. Conclusion: Though different mode of consumption, tobacco chewing had an addictive effect on lipid profile among smokers.
