Materials and Methods: Hospital based secondary data analysis from clinical records of IPD patients for whom lipid panel investigation was carried out during the period 2017 to 2018. A sample size of 300 was considered using prevalence of hypertension in the catchment area. The dataset of 300 patients was retrieved from HIS. The Analysis was done using Epi Info software.Result: Out of 300 patients studied 168 were males and 82 were females among positive results & 26 were males & 24 were females among negative result. Out of 300 patients studied distribution of positive & negative cases were displayed in the following table according to their age based category for each decade of life from 10 years to 90 years. Out of 300 patients included in the study as per record 150 patients. Were having prior history of relevant diseases in relation to cardio-metabolic disorder like hypertension, diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease or other cardiovascular diseases.Conclusion:These results provide a very important revelation about alarming socioeconomic problem which needs special attention with utmost urgency.
