Lipoprotein(a)-cholesterol (Lp(a)-C), a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-like particle is considered as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We aimed to investigate the association of Lp(a)-C expression with dyslipidemia among the Bangladeshi population and assess the relationship with cardiovascular risks. In this cross-sectional comparative study, a total of 180 urban males and females between ages 19-65 years were included who were enrolled in a hospital setting of Bangladesh. Participants were selected based on their total cholesterol (TC) level≥200 mg/dl, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-C<40 mg/dl, LDL-C≥140 mg/dl, and triacylglycerol (TG)≥150 mg/dl regardless of race, religion and socioeconomic status. Venous blood was collected from all participants and analyzed. Further, participants’ socio-demographics and body mass index (BMI) were collected. Expression of Lp(a)-C was detected in 22.86% patients with desirable levels (<14 mg/dL) of serum Lp(a)-C. This study suggests that the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia is high in the Bangladeshi population. Males were found to have lower HDL-C and higher TG than females. and, similar to other ethnic groups, a negative correlation between BMI and HDL-C was found in this population. In addition, Lp(a)-C had a positive correlation with TG which may recommend routine clinical investigation of Lp(a)-C as a biomarker for CVD risk.

The prevalence of obesity and hypertension (HTN) in university students of Bangladesh has not reported yet. Considering the proper health maintenance of this population in mind, the study was aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity and HTN as well as relationship among them in the students of a residential university of Bangladesh, Jahangirnagar University. This descriptive cross sectional study included 500 randomly selected students (250 males and 250 females). Participants completed a questionnaire on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, dietary factors, smoking and family history of obesity, HTN, and coronary artery disease. Blood pressure and anthropometric parameters such as height, weight, waist and hip circumferences were measured following standard procedure. The Statistical analyses were performed using the software SPSS.The prevalence of overweight was 25% (31.1% males, 15.6% females) and obesity 7.2% (9.4% males, 4% females). Pre-HTN was found at 27.1% (38% males, 11.2% females) and HTN at 2.2% (3.3% males, 0.4% females). A high rate of smoking, sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, excessive consumption of unhealthy food, and caffeine-rich drinks was also observed. Significant correlation was found between parameters of obesity and HTN. High prevalence of pre-HTN in males and central obesity in females were found which is immediately needed to control for better health maintenance of this population.
