Abnormalities in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are recognized major modifiable cardiovascular disease and essential hypertension risk factors.
The objective of this study was to examine the serum lipid patterns of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients attending a tertiary healthcare centre in South East Nigeria.
Methods.
Two hundred and fifty newly diagnosed adult hypertensive patients and an equal number of age- and sex-matched controls without hypertension were consecutively recruited from the Medical and General Outpatient Clinics of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi.
Result.
126 males and 124 females were in each of the two groups.
Mean age was comparable in both groups.
Hypertensives had significantly higher mean systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, and fasting blood sugar than the controls.
The mean TC, TG, and LDL-C were significantly higher among the hypertensives.
The mean HDL-C was comparable; P=0.8.
Among the hypertensive subjects, there was statistically significant positive correlation between BMI and TC; LDL-C and TG; WC and TG; FBS and TC; LDL-C and TG.
HDL-C showed a statistically significant inverse correlation with WHR in hypertensives.
Conclusion.
This study showed that lipid abnormalities are highly prevalent among newly diagnosed hypertensives in South-East Nigeria.
