Dyslipidaemia
Unhealthy blood fat levels linked to obesity — weight loss can significantly improve cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk.
Patient-Friendly Explanation
Dyslipidaemia means you have unhealthy levels of fats in your blood, like high cholesterol or high triglycerides. It often occurs alongside obesity and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Weight loss, a healthy diet, and exercise can significantly improve your lipid levels.
Clinical Definition
Dyslipidaemia is a metabolic disorder characterised by abnormal concentrations of plasma lipids, including elevated LDL cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. It is strongly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Weight loss of 5-10% of body weight significantly improves lipid profiles, reducing cardiovascular risk.
