Background: Coronary artery disease is a known entity of morbidity and mortality in industrialised countries. It is a major public health problem around the world. Coronary artery disease increase incidence in Indian population at least 10 years before in age than other ethnic groups. There are a numbers of factors associated with atherosclerosis the most important one is dyslipidemia. Recent studies suggest that over the span of 20 years, the total amount of triglycerides, cholesterol and Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) `levels is usually increased in young urban populations. So, a study was performed out to know the prevalence of dyslipidemia in urban North Indians among different set of age groups. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study which was carried out on patients visiting to the blood collection centre of the Department of Pathology. Patients were divided into 3 groups with age 18 year to 40 year, 41 year to 60 year and >60 year by involving 1989 subjects of whom 532 were between 18 year to 40 year, 522 were between 41year to 60 year and 935 were > 60 year of age. This study included measurement of fasting serum lipid profile comprising of, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), Triglycerides and total cholesterol. Results: Number of subjects studied, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in <60 years age population. A remarkable difference in mean was observed statistically with the levels of triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol of this age group ranging from 18- 40 years and for those who are >60 years. A remarkable difference for the levels of HDL was not found in age group between 18 – 40 years and > 40 years to 60 years. Mean cholesterol level was observed to be elevated between the age group 18 – 40 years. The mean peak triglycerides were observed in age group between 41-60 years. This elevated mean HDL levels were noticed in the age group who are > 60 years of age. Conclusions: Elevated percentage of dyslipidemia was observed in less than 60yrs age groups. Large population study is required to substantiate the results of this study. It is necessary to plan out comprehensive strategies for the screening and awareness in all ages on periodic basis.
