Abstract
Introduction: Disorders of lipid metabolism are common and prominent in diabetes and are important risk factors for the high frequency of atheromatous complications in the disease. Epidemiological and clinical studies have repeatedly demonstrated that diabetic individuals have 2-4 times higher risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease than non-diabetic individuals. Methodology: A total of 274 young asymptomatic adults were selected on the basis of stratified random sampling. The study group was further divided into 6 groups depending on the basis of Family History of Diabetes, Hypertension or both Diabetes and Hypertension present or absent in First degree relatives Results: Majority of patients were in the age group of 20-25 years (2nd decade) with a frequency of 40.5%, followed by 26-30 years (2nd decade). Males were significantly more (66.5%) as compared to females (33.5%). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in number of individuals in various study groups.
