Key result
Lipid disorders show rising prevalence across India, concentrated in metropolitan areas and among men.
The increasing prevalence of lipid disorders in India, particularly in urban areas and among men, underscores the critical need for targeted public health and lifestyle interventions.
The epidemiology of lipid diseases in India raises serious public health concerns. The increasing prevalence of lipid abnormalities is caused by a number of factors, including dietary practices, a sedentary lifestyle, genetic susceptibility and socioeconomic status. In comparison to rural settings, metropolitan areas have a much greater prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia. Furthermore, lipid problems are more common in men than in women, indicating a gender gap. To combat the risk of cardiovascular illnesses, including lipid disorders, the study emphasises the critical need for focused interventions, such as public health campaigns, lifestyle changes and enhanced access to healthcare services.
