Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart diseases, and other noncommunicable diseases are leading causes of high mortality worldwide. Different studies have shown that these diseases are caused by abnormal lipid levels in the blood, dyslipidemia, obesity, and less physical activity. The lipid profiles of 59 patients were analyzed. Information about these patients was collected from the King Khalid General Hospital Laboratory in Majmaah City, Saudi Arabia. The disctiptive statistaical analysis was used to present the data for the parameters including low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol levels.Women had higher levels of total cholesterol and LDL than men due to their sedentary lifestyle. However, women had higher levels of HDL than men, which can reduce the risk of dyslipidemia. Abnormal total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and TG levels were observed in the following age groups: 0-25, 26-35, and 36-45 years. More abnormalities were detected in women than in men. Women are at greater risk of developing certain comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases, due to their unhealthy lifestyle and less physical activity. Certain chronic diseases, particularly heart diseases, are associated with abnormal lipid levels, obesity, and lifestyle habits with less physical activity. Huge variations in HDL, LDL, TG, and total cholesterol levels have been observed in men and women with respect to age. Variations in lipid levels have also been observed in men and women living in different regions of the world. Moreover, this present study has shown that high levels of LDL-cholesterol are mostly present in the female population as their lifestyle habits involve less physical activity and an unhealthy diet, which leads to obesity. This study provides insight into future regulation and awareness campaigns by health authorities in Saudi Arabia regarding the effect of dyslipidemia on human health.
