Abstract

Death rate due to cardiovascular disease is increasing in Bengali population in India. Serum lipids are associated to racial, environmental, gender and age specific in a particular community. To assess the dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular disease serum lipids are useful marker. The aim of this study was to assessing the percentile reference data of fasting serum lipids in normal healthy Bengali boys aged between 5 -12 years in West Bengal, India. This present cross-sectional and descriptive study was done on 291 boys in West Bengal aged 5-12 years. The selected subjects were partitioned into four different age groups such as (5-6), (7-8), (9-10) and (11-12) years respectively. From 5th to 95th percentiles values of fasting serum lipids such as serum Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, TC: HDL cholesterol ratio were analysed for four selected age groups of boys. From this study it is noted that the 5th, 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th and 95th fasting serum total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) percentiles values were lower level and also higher level triglycerides (TG) when compared to Americans boys in all the selected age groups boys. This difference may be the cause of ethnical variances and environmental related factors like dietary pattern as well as physical inactivity. These percentiles reference data will help to identify and early assessment of cardiovascular disease and dyslipidaemia in Bengali children in future.

Conclusion

Findings from this study it may be conclude that our present reported lipid percentile values in Bengali children give significant information for important clinical analysis of blood lipids. From this research work, it also noted that in order to decrease such atherosclerotic risk factors; Bengali boys required to be screened in regular interval. This biochemical test is an easy and effective method of early detection cardiovascular heart disease. Those boys who identifying as being at higher risk for development coronary heart disease due to higher level of serum cholesterol should receive targeted intervention, as suggested by the American Heart Association (AHA). Health professional and state government must focus on supporting the early diagnosis and prevention of blood lipid profile abnormalities in school going Bengali boys in West Bengal, India.
