Study Finds Low HDL Cholesterol Common in Indians; Experts Stress Heart Health Awareness
A national study by ICMR-INDIAB found that 66.8% of Indian adults have low HDL ('good') cholesterol, the most common blood fat abnormality linked to increased cardiovascular risk. The study also noted that 22.5% have both low HDL and high triglycerides, associated with metabolic complications. Separately, cardiologists emphasize that high LDL ('bad') cholesterol often shows no symptoms and can affect younger adults, urging regular lipid profile checks and personalized treatment to manage heart disease risk.
