To study of hyperlipidemia in stroke patients and non- dyslipidemia in stroke patients

Abstract

Background: Stroke is considered as a disease which can be developed by long-lasting 
exposure to risk factors related to lifestyle. Modification of such risk factors should greatly 
affect the incidence of stroke and even mortality rates.Different modifiable and non

gender, age, ethnicity, heredity, and race.Modifiable risk factors include, but are not limited

alcoholic intake Aim & Objective:   1.To study of hyperlipidemia in stroke patients and non- 
dyslipidemia in stroke patients 2. To study the association of hyperlipidemia with stroke 3.To 
study the proportion of various risk factors of stroke  Methods: Prospective cross sectional 
study, Study setting:  Medicine Department of tertiary care centre Study duration: from 
…..to……. Study population:  The study population included all the cases with strokes 
admitted at a tertiary care center Sample size: 130 Results:   Majority of case belonged in 
Above 45 years age group 117 (90%) and less than 45 years age group 13 (10%). majority of 
cases presented with Hyperlipidemia 82 (63.08%) and Non–dyslipidemia was found in 48 
cases (36.92%).
