Abstract

Background: The elderly population is growing, and hypertension is frequent in this age group. Among addition, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders associated with hypertension are more prevalent in the elderly. The typical cause of isolated systolic hypertension in elderly adults is the atherosclerosis-induced stiffness of the aorta and major arteries. According to postmortem examinations conducted on human coronary arteries and aortas from around the world, atherosclerosis is more widespread and severe in hypertensive individuals than in normotensive individuals. Aims & Objectives: To determine the prevalence and forms of hyperlipidaemia in hypertensive people. Materials & Methods: The proposed study would be conducted on OPD/IPD patients at Santosh Hospital by the Department of Medicine at Santosh Medical College, Santosh University, Ghaziabad. One year will pass between January 2014 and January 2015 for the length of the study. This is a case-control investigation. There were 100 volunteers between the ages of 31 and 60 who were both male and female and of the same age and gender. Results: This study finds that 9% of instances are in their fifth decade, with 8% of male cases and 1% of female cases, 5% of cases are in their fourth decade, with 4% of male cases and 4% of female cases, and 8% of cases are in their third decade, with 3% of male cases and 5% of female cases. Conclusion: Serum lipid profile was discovered to be a useful marker for cardiovascular disease screening in hypertensive persons, and early detection of cardiovascular illness can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In addition, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and BMI were abnormal in my study of hypertensive individuals, although triglycerides and VLDL-C did not differ significantly with hypertension
