Association between Lipid Profile Limitations and Blood Glucose Values among Obese Adult Men in South Babylon Province, Iraq

A main community health alarm, obesity is carefully related with metabolic syndromes for example, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. This study aimed to assess the correlation between lipid profile limitations and fasting blood glucose values in an obese adult male in south Babylon province, Iraq. 60 adult male’s individuals in a case-control investigation, including 30 obese individuals (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) and 30 age-matched, healthy, non-obese controls. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) were evaluate using conventional enzymatic colorimetric methods. The fasting blood glucose values of the obese and control groups did high significant different, according to the data (P<0.0001). Conversely, obese individual had significantly lower HDL values (P < 0.0001) and significantly higher values of total cholesterol, (TG, LDL, and VLDL). BMI was significantly positively correlated with TG, total cholesterol, and VLDL, whereas it was significantly negatively correlated with HDL. There was no correlation between fasting blood glucose and cholesterol limits or BMI. In conclusion, even in the absence of hyperglycemia, obesity in adult males is closely allied with negative changes in their lipid profiles. The consequences of this study highlight the significance of lipid profiles as early signs of metabolic risk in obese individuals in addition to the requirement for early interventions to reduce metabolic and cardiovascular problems.
