Abstract

Background: The geriatric population is on the rise, and hypertension is particularly prevalent in this age group. Among addition, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases related with high blood pressure are more prevalent in the elderly. The atherosclerosis-induced stiffness of the aorta and major arteries is a typical cause of isolated systolic hypertension in elderly individuals. Atherosclerosis is more broad and severe in hypertension individuals than in normotensive individuals, according to postmortem investigations conducted on human coronary arteries and aortas from throughout the world. Aims & Objectives: To assess the prevalence and types of hyperlipidaemia in individuals with hypertension. Methods & Materials: The proposed study would be undertaken at the Department of Medicine, Santosh Medical College, Santosh University, Ghaziabad, on Santosh Hospital OPD/IPD patients. From January 2014 to January 2015, the duration of the study will be one year.The following is a case-control study. There were 100 male and female participants between the ages of 31 and 60 who were of the same age and gender. Results: This study reveals that 9% of cases are in their fifth decade of life, with 8% male and 1% female, 5% of cases are in their fourth decade, with 4% male and 4% female, and 8% of cases are in their third decade, with 3% male and 5% female. Conclusion: It was found that serum lipid profile can serve as an important marker for cardiovascular disease screening in hypertensive individuals, and that early detection of cardiovascular disease can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In addition, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and BMI were found to be abnormal in hypertensive people in my study, although triglycerides and VLDL-C did not substantially differ with hypertension.
