ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Tobacco usage is one of the major factors in the genesis of coronary atherosclerosis and development of coronary heart diseases(CHD). Tobacco usage is recognised as a major risk factor for the development of ischaemic heart disease may lead to alter a normal plasma lipoprotein pattern. AIM & OBJECTIVES: To study variations of the lipid profile in tobacco users and non-tobacco users. To study the lipid profile in different age group of tobacco users and non tobacco users. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prospective study was carried out to find percentage of dyslipidemia among tobacco users in comparison with controls total 60 patients were included satisfying all the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study. serum lipid profile was analysed in all the subjects. CONCLUSION: we observed significant increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins noted in age groups between 20 to 80 years with history of smoking and significant decrease in mean low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides and total cholesterol compared to non-tobacco users. Increased amount of tobacco usage causes more of dyslipidemia. Thus the study is to make aware smokers and tobacco users about the variation in lipid profile impact and discourage tobacco usage in any form.
