The study aimed to establish effect of cigarette smoking and hypertension on lipid profile. 50 hypertensive (HTN) nonsmoker, 50 smoker non-hypertensive persons, 50 non hypertensive nonsmoker persons (control), age between (25-45 yrs) and all without history of hyperlipidaemia were included in the study
Lipid profile on the serum was performed with an autoanalyzer using standard methods. A significant increase in lipid profile was reported in hypertensive and smoker patients compared to control while HDL-C showed significant decrease. The triglyceride and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) increased significantly in smokers than hypertensive patients, while the total cholesterol and HDL-C are insignificantly changed when comparing smokers with hypertensive patients.
