Dyslipidemia is highly prevalent among type 2 diabetic patients. It increases the risk of atherosclerosis and consequent mortality in diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of dyslipidemia among type 2 diabetic patients.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study in 355 type 2 diabetic patients at tertiary care hospital from 15th May, 2020 to 15th November, 2020 after taking ethical clearence from Institutional Review Committee (Reference no. IRC-PA-052/2077-78). Convenience sampling was done. Demographic and lipid profile variables were recorded based on the structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data.
Out of total 355 cases of type 2 Diabetes mellitus, prevalence of dyslipidemia was 224 (63.1%). It was more prevalent in male 145 (69.4%) than female 79 (54.1%). Increased Low density Lipoprotein (94.2%) was the most prevalent type followed by mixed dyslipidemia (91.1%).
Dyslipidemia was common among type 2 diabetic patients and was higher in male gender, older age, obesity and longer duration of diabetes. Hence type 2 diabetic patient should undergo the routine monitoring of blood sugar and lipid profile so that any abnormalities can be identified and preventive measures along with interventions can be initiated at the earliest.
血脂异常在 2 型糖尿病患者中非常普遍。它增加了糖尿病患者发生动脉粥样硬化和随后死亡的风险。本研究旨在了解 2 型糖尿病患者中血脂异常的患病率。
这是一项在 2020 年 5 月 15 日至 11 月 15 日期间在一家三级护理医院对 355 例 2 型糖尿病患者进行的描述性横断面研究，研究获得了机构审查委员会（参考编号 IRC-PA-052/2077-78）的伦理批准。采用便利抽样。根据结构化问卷记录人口统计学和血脂谱变量。数据采用社会科学统计软件包 20 版进行分析。计算了 95%置信区间的点估计值以及二进制数据的频率和百分比。
在总共 355 例 2 型糖尿病患者中，血脂异常的患病率为 224 例（63.1%）。男性 145 例（69.4%）高于女性 79 例（54.1%）。最常见的是低密脂蛋白（94.2%）升高，其次是混合性血脂异常（91.1%）。
血脂异常在 2 型糖尿病患者中很常见，且在男性、年龄较大、肥胖和糖尿病病程较长的患者中更为常见。因此，2 型糖尿病患者应定期监测血糖和血脂谱，以便及早发现任何异常，并采取预防措施和干预措施。
