Atherogenic dyslipidemia is a condition characterised by an elevation of triglycerides and small-denselow-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) and a reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL Cholestrol).Prevalence studies from India is less and are of small scale in nature. There are no studies amongmedical and paramedical professionals that document the prevalence of dyslipidemia in India. In order todetermine the prevalence of dyslipidemia in young asymptomatic medical and paramedical professionals,the following study was done with lipid profile and with Atherogenic Index of plasma (AIP), Castelli’s RiskRatio I&II (CRR I&II). From May 2016 to August 2016, a cross-sectional study was done among medicaland paramedical professionals (N=120) aged between 18-40 years working in a tertiary care hospital.Fasting and post prandial blood sugar, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, low densitylipoprotein, atherogenic ratios and BMI were calculated. Among the 120 participants (80 doctors; 40nurses), 43(35.8%) were males and 77(64.1%) were females. Out of 120 participants, 79 (65.8%) had BMIwithin the normal range, 37 (30.8%) had BMI 25-30 and 4 (3.4%) of them had BMI 30-35. Atherogenicdyslipidemia is a potent marker of coronary artery disease risk, especially among asymptomatic youngindividuals. Indices for coronary risk assessment are more potent than lipid profile. They can be usedas effective screening tool in clinical settings and epidemiological studies. Young individuals engaged inwhite collar jobs must be screened for atherogenic dyslipidemia from an early age to prevent coronaryartery disease.Keywords: Atherogenic dyslipidemia, Prevalence, South India, Crosssectional study, Medical professionals.
