Correlation of Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol levels with neck circumference in non hypertensive euglycemic adults
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Neck circumference (NC) measurement is one of the simple screening measurements which can be used as an indicator of upper body fat distribution to identify obesity. Recently, non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) has become a commonly used marker for a blood lipid pattern associated with increased risk of heart disease. Aim: The aim of this study is to Correlation of Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol levels with neck circumference in non hypertensive euglycemic adults. Methods: This study was conducted on a group of 100 participants (78 males and 22females). All the participants were recruited from the master health checkup program of SRM medical college hospital. Results: There was positive correlation of Neck circumference and Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol. The NC in susceptible individuals was significantly correlate with Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (P < 0.01). Conclusions: The positive correlation observed between Non HDL Cholesterol levels and neck circumference indicates that measurement of these parameters may help as an effective screening measure in better risk stratification in susceptible individuals.
