COMPARISON OF OBESITY MEASURES, LIPIDS PROFILES, BLOOD GLUCOSE, LIPOPROTEIN (A) AND APOLIPOPROTEINS IN LEAN AND OBESE DYSLIPIDAEMIC SUBJECTS OF ASIAN INDIAN ORIGIN
Dr. Arnab Ghosh*
ABSTRACT
The preset study was aimed to compare obesity measures, lipids profiles, blood glucose, lipoprotein (a) and apolipoproteins in lean and obese dyslipidaemic Asian Indian subjects. A total of 208 healthy male blood donors of Asian Indian origin from Kolkata, aged 18–65 years took part in the study. Anthropometric measures, lipids profiles, blood glucose, lipoprotein (a) and apolipoproteins were obtained from participants. Obesity and dyslipidaemia was defined using standard cut-offs. ANCOVA (adjusted for age) revealed that Gr. A (non-obese subjects) had significantly lower mean than Gr. B (Obese subjects) for obesity measures, lipids and lipoproteins (except HDL) blood glucose, apolipoprotein B and its ratio with apolipoprotein AI (Apo B/Apo AI).
