Effect of Cigarette Smoking and Obesity on Blood Levels Lipid

Abstract

In present studies, the effects of obesity and cigarette smoking on lipid levels in blood were investigated. The represented study has been commenced on 1006 adult patients from Cumra Government Hospital amongst 598 women and 408 men between age of 25-55. Blood samples taken from 12 h fasted patients were taken into tubes. After coagulation, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol) and hight density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol) analysis were completed by separation serums. The average triglyceride levels of the data of 1006 adult patients is found as 167.80 ± 98.43 mg/dl, triglyceride levels of men is 174.37 ± 102.69 mg/dl and for women is 163.31 ± 95 mg/dl. While overall average total cholesterol is 196.66 ± 44.93 mg/dl, in men is 191.76 ± 43.55 mg/dl and it is found in women as 200.00 ± 45.59 mg/dl. Average high density lipoprotein cholesterol in general is 50.67 ± 12.30 mg/dl, in men is 48.11 ± 12.59 mg/dl and in women is 52.41 ± 11.80 mg/dl. The mean low density lipoprotein is 115.49 ± 38.52 mg/dl, in men is 112.23 ± 36.19 mg/dl and in women is 117.71 ± 39.90 mg/dl. Active and passive cigarette smoking was shown 28 and 15 % respectively. Another important result is that obesity cases were shown seriously in 53 %. The significance of the effect of smoking activity on high density lipoprotein cholesterol was determined. However, the effect of body mass index on lipid profile was not found significant. On the other hand, the effectiveness of central obesity on lipid profile was determined.
