In a research conducted on two lakh people, it was revealed that during the Corona epidemic, cases of dyslipidemia had increased by 30 percent. People over 65 years of age who suffered from obesity and diabetes had the highest number of cases of this disease. Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the United States observed cases of increased levels of fat in people’s blood during the three pandemic years (2020-2022) of the Corona epidemic. These cases were 30 percent more than the numbers of this disease before Corona. The authors wrote in the study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation that during COVID-19, the risk of developing dyslipidemia was 29 percent higher than in the three years before COVID-19.
Researchers said that the increased risk of dyslipidemia is due to the Corona epidemic. Although research has not clearly said about the relationship between Covid and this disease, it has been said that due to dyslipidemia, the amount of fat in the blood increases, which can cause heart diseases. This disease causes heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.
What is dyslipidemia?
When the amount of fat in the blood increases, it is called dyslipidemia. Because of this, it can also increase bad cholesterol, which causes a heart attack. In such a situation, dyslipidemia could be one of the reasons for the increase in heart attack cases after Covid, but there is no concrete evidence on this, but researchers have said that they would recommend people to monitor their lipid levels regularly and in case of dyslipidemia. If detected, consult doctors about your treatment methods. Do not be careless in this matter.
Covid is also the cause of high blood pressure
The researchers of this team had also previously conducted research in which they found that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the cases of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Now, in recent research it has become clear that the corona epidemic may be one of the reasons for the increase in cases of dyslipidemia.
