Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia refers to a lipid profile disturbance, including both hyperlipidemia and hypolipideinia. (1) It is categorized by a decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and an elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [...]
Background: Dyslipidemia refers to a lipid profile disturbance due to decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Helicobacter pylori infection can lead to some appetite-related disorders that may cause deregulated absorption of nutrients in the digestive system, contributing to changes in serum lipids. The purpose of this study is to assess dyslipidemia and its associated factors among H. pylori-infected patients attending at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 231 H. pylori-positive and control groups, which were included by the convenience sampling technique from March to May 2021 at University of Gondar Specialized Hospital. Sociodemographic and behavioral characteristic data were collected using a pretested questionnaire, and 5mL of venous blood were used to determine the lipid profiles using DxC 700 AU chemistry analyzer. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Mann-Whitney U-test and multivariable logistic regression were applied, and P-value Results: The magnitude of dyslipidemia among H. pylori-infected patients was 71.8% (95% CI: 62.7-79.7). There was a statistically significant difference in lipid profiles between H. pylori-infected patients and control groups. The median (IQR) of lipid profiles in H. pylori-infected patients and control groups were for low-density lipoprotein: 108 (89.8, 145.5) vs 95 (79.45, 115.8, P Conclusion: There was a median lipid profile statistically significant difference between H. pylori-positive and control groups. Helicobacter pylori infection, educational status, and alcohol drinking habit had statistically significant association with dyslipidemia. Keywords: associated factors, dyslipidemia, H. pylori
