ABSTRACT
Background: Ferritin is associated with
many cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension both young
and middle age subjects. We aimed to study the association between serum
ferritin levels and dyslipidemia in adolescents..
Methods: We analyzed 60 students (30
boys and 30 girls) from local Medical Institute of Lahore city. Age range of
subjects was 18-20 years. Duration of study was February 2018 to April 2018. A
questionnaire was filled from consented students. Levels of serum cholesterol,
triglyceride and their carries HDL- chol, LDl chol and VLDL was estimated by
Auto analyzer. Serum ferritin was estimated by ELISA technique.
Results: Mean age
of male / female was 19.8 and 19.6 years respectively. Mean BMI values were
insignificantly high in male in comparison to female. Lipid level of female was
more in female. However the levels of serum ferritin was more in male. A weak
direct correlation was observed between serum ferritn and serum cholesterol in
both gender. However, in male subjects a weak negative correlation of serum
ferritin with serum triglyceride and
serum HDL-cholesterol. Whereas in female the correlation between serum ferritin
and HDL-chol was positive
Conclusion: Serum ferritin levels were
significantly associated with major dyslipidemia parameters, more prominently
in boys than in girls, and this association represents a cardiometabolic risk
factor.
Keywords: Serum
ferritin, dyslipidemia, adolescents
