Hindi Lifestyle factors and their effect on liver and lipid status- cross sectional study
Abstract
Adopting a healthy lifestyle is associated with improvised life expectancy. The modifiable lifestyle-related risk factors are hazardous alcohol drinking, smoking, excess body weight and lack of physical activity. Our aim was to estimate the impact of lifestyle factors on abnormalities in laboratory tests reflecting liver status, inflammation and lipid metabolism- a cross-sectional study. The study included 339 participants elder than 25 years. Data on alcohol use, smoking, body weight, and physical activity were recorded from structured interviews. The risk scores for the various life style factors were established on a 0–8 scale and used to stratify the population in classes to allow estimates of their joint effects. Serum liver enzymes (GGT, ALT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipid profiles were measured using standard laboratory techniques.
