    Comparision of the effectivness of absi and its z-score in predicting the prevalence of dyslipidemia
    (UMT, Lhr, 2019) MUHAMMAD SHOAIB
    Dyslipidemia is abnormality of any lipoprotein fraction Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), Low density lipoprotein (LDL), and High density lipoprotein (HDL). It is important to study population to monitor risk factors for dyslipidemia and CHD. Still in Pakistan there are few population based studies related to lipid levels. In this study total number of participant were (n80) (females 30 and males 50). In our study rural population was marked as dyslipidemic because they were having abnormal lipid profile. Gender wise comparison showed that males were more prevalent to dyslipidemia due their abnormal lipid profile. According to abnormal lipid fractions (89%) of our studied were marked as Dyslipidemic. Abnormalities were observed in at least a single lipid-fraction that is either TC, LDL, TG or HDL. The most usual form of dyslipidemia was high TG (86%) followed by low HDL (77%). We assessed various traditionally introduced anthropometric and metabolic parameters (BMI and WC) in the severity of dyslipidemia. However, due to certain limitations, they were not considered strong predictors of dyslipidemia. To overcome these limitations we utilized newly introduced anthropometric parameters like A body Shape Index (ABSI), and its and Z-score and. According to our study ABSI and its Z-score were not strong predictors of Dyslipidemia, however Z-score only in case of TG showed higher but no-significant values.
