Association of Lipid and Body Mass Index Profile With Chronic Hepatitis C Infection Stratified by Age and Gender
Background In this study, we aimed to determine the association of lipid and body mass index (BMI) profiles among cases having chronic hepatitis C virus (CHCV) infection. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. A total of 320 cas...

description | Background In this study, we aimed to determine the association of lipid and body mass index (BMI) profiles among cases having chronic hepatitis C virus (CHCV) infection. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. A total of 320 cases of both genders, aged 18 to 60 years, with CHCV infection were enrolled in the study. After obtaining relevant history and conducting a physical examination, the venous blood sample of each patient was taken and sent to the institutional laboratory to analyze serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein levels. BMI of all the study participants was also noted. Results Of the total 320 cases, there were 152 (47.5%) males and 168 (52.5%) females. The overall mean age was 42.92 ± 11.38 years. Most cases [97 (30.3%)] were in the 41 to 50-year age group. Overall, the mean BMI was 27.75 ± 4.59 kg/m(2). Dyslipidemia was noted in 144 (45.0%) cases. Increasing age and increasing BMI were found to have statistical significance with the presence of dyslipidemia (p < 0.05). Conclusions Increasing age and BMI have a significant association with dyslipidemia in patients with CHCV infection. Lipid profile appears to differ among different age and BMI groups. |
