Abstract EN
Smoking is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis & coronary heart disease (CHD).
dyslipidemia has been shown to be a significant coronary heart disease risk factor.
This study is a case-control, conducted between June to November 2016, and aimed to find out the effect of cigarette smoking and hookah consumption on lipid profiles among the adult population.
A total of 200 adults out of them 50 subjects were a non-smoker (controls group) and the other 150 were smokers (cases group), aged between 20-55 years and collected from Rafah Governorate.
Personal & demographic data and clinical data situation of the study population were taken by interview questionnaire.
Biochemical evaluations were carried out.
Collected data were analyzed using SPSS-18.
The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the mean ± SD of lipid profile in the controls group and the mean ± SD of lipid profile in seven cases sup-group (P < 0.05).
Further, there was a statistically significant relationship between the mean ± SD of lipid profiles levels and years of cigarettes smoking among cigarettes smokers group (p=0.000).
In contrast, among hookah smokers group, a statistical significance relation between the mean ± SD of TC level and years of hookah smoking is reported (p=0.010).
Cigarette and hookah smokers had appeared with high progressing towards the emergence atherosclerosis and coronary risk factors; because, mostly, they were having high serum TC, TGs, LDL-C, and low serum HDL-C levels as compared to nonsmokers, and these findings agree with most of the previous studies.
