Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral contraceptives (OCs) affect lipid metabolism, which can cause hyperlipidemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The study was designed to evaluate the possible changes in lipid profile due to using OCs. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2016 to August 2018 among women from the baseline phase Hoveyzeh cohort study (HCS). Sociodemographic data, anthropometric measurements, physical activity, and biochemical blood tests were measured for every participant. Multiple logistic regression was used to adjust the potential confounders. RESULTS Among 2272 participants, 1549 women were OC users, and 723 women were non-user OCs. The mean lipid profile levels were higher in OC users than in non-user OCs. Odds of abnormal Total cholesterol (TC) in OC users were significantly higher than those of non-users OCs [OR = 1.29 (95% CI;1.05 to 1.58)]. Also, the Odds of abnormal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in OC users was 12% higher than in non-user OCs. However, no significant relationship between abnormal LDL with Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCPs) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The mean lipid profile was higher in OC users compared to non-user OCs. This finding highlights the need for public health strategies to prevent and detect hyperlipidemia in user OCs.

Assessment of liver function tests of women taking hormonal contraceptives at University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital and Family Guidance Association of Gondar (FGAE), 2022; a comparative cross-sectional study. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0289746. [PMID: 37590278 PMCID: PMC10434896 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0289746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hormonal contraceptives are artificial preparations that contain artificial progestins and Ethinylestradiol; these preparations are utilized by women of reproductive age to prevent pregnancy. Roughly a billion women in the world use some form of contraceptive worldwide. Despite the utility of these preparations, they are linked with several adverse effects, including disturbances of liver functionality and integrity. However, previous studies conducted to assess the association between hormonal contraceptive utilization and liver function tests reported conflicting results, and the effects remained a matter of concern. METHODS The study enrolled a total of 264 participants, who were allocated into two groups. One group of hormonal contraceptive users who use the medication for a minimum of six months: Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), combined oral contraceptives (COC), Norplant, and Implant users and another age-matched non-user control group in a ratio of 1:1. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic, behavioral, and clinical data. Five ml serum blood sample was collected for liver function test analysis on a Beckman Coulter Clinical Chemistry analyzer (DXC 700 AU). Independent t-test was used to compare liver function tests of hormonal contraceptive users and non-user controls, whereas ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post hoc test was used for intra- (between classes of contraceptives) and inter-group (between each class of contraceptives and controls) comparisons and to identify factors associated. RESULTS Hormonal contraceptive users were observed to have a statistically significant higher mean value of liver enzymes assessed compared to non-user control groups: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (47.07±14.79 versus 25.92±7.37; p <0.001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (35.83±13.76 versus 16.56 ± 5.03; p <0.001), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (63.34±14.74 versus 45.41±14.34, p <0.001) and for γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) (47.37±24.32 versus 19.45 ± 6.86 p <0.001). Similarly, the mean value of total and direct bilirubin (mg/dL) among HC users showed a statistically significant elevation (0.68 ± 0.22 against 0.32 ± 0.13, p <0.001) for total bilirubin and (0.14 ± 0.06 against 0.06 ± 0.03, p <0.001) for direct bilirubin respectively. However, no statistically significant result was observed in the mean values of total protein and albumin. For total protein (6.7 ± 0.89 versus 6.5 ± 1.15, p 0.07) and for albumin (5.4 ± 0.92 versus 5.3 ± 1.08; p 0.30). The current study also indicates the level of hepatic function test alteration is related to the type of hormonal contraceptives, duration of usage, and level of adherence to a specific class of contraceptives. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Hormonal contraceptive use was observed to affect hepatic function. Based on this finding, we strongly recommend to closely monitor liver function tests in women using hormonal contraceptives.

Atherogenic dyslipidemia and associated risk factors among hypertensive patients of five health facilities in Northeast Ethiopia. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0277185. [PMID: 36787318 PMCID: PMC9928121 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0277185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is atherogenic dyslipidemia. There was, however, little information available in Ethiopia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of atherogenic dyslipidemia and related risk factors in Northeast Ethiopian hypertension patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic random sampling technique was used to perform a cross-sectional study at an institution with 384 chosen participants. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the socio-demographic, anthropometric, lifestyle, and clinical characteristics of the respondents. Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and Pearson's Chi-square test were employed to compare groups based on the type of data. Furthermore, Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with dyslipidemia. Crude and adjusted odds ratios and their corresponding 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were computed. In all cases, statistical significance was declared at p <0.05. RESULTS The majority (93.2%; 95%CI: 90.6-95.6) of patients had at least one atherogenic dyslipidemia. The prevalence of elevated total cholesterol (TC), elevated triglyceride (TG), raised low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) were 47.7%, 50.3%, 44.3%, and 59.6%, respectively. Being≥ 40 years were at higher risk for having elevated levels of TC (AOR: 3.22, 95% CI: 2.40-4.32), TG (AOR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.61-3.79), and LDL-c (AOR: 4.68, 95% CI: 2.0-10.95) than those who were below 40years. Obese participants were more likely to have high concentrations of TC (AOR: 2.57, 95%CI: 2.10-3.22), LDL-c (AOR: 3.13, 95% CI: 1.97-5.10), HDL-c (AOR: 2.71, 95% CI: 1.77-4.58), and TG (AOR: 2.23, 95%CI: 1.79-4.16). CONCLUSION This study revealed that a high prevalence of atherogenic dyslipidemia. Thus, to prevent atherogenic dyslipidemia, it is crucial to create routine blood lipid testing programs and carry out suitable intervention programs focused on risk factor reduction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of oral contraceptives (OCs) is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in women of reproductive age. CVD remain one of the top causes of death worldwide, with at least three-quarters of deaths occurring in low-income and middle-income nations. The impact of various types of combined oral contraceptive (COC) on several modifiable risk factors associated with CVDs in premenopausal women is inconsistent regardless of genetic mutations. The aim of this systematic review will be to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the available evidence on the impact of COC usage on modifiable risk factors associated with CVDs and assess ethnic and geographic disparities in the reported prevalence of CVD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This systematic review protocol was prepared in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols 2015 statement. An extensive search on the Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library will be conducted from inception until. Two reviewers will independently screen for eligible studies using a predefined criterion. The risk of bias and quality of included studies will be assessed using the modified Downs and Black's checklist. Whereas the overall quality of included studies will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation assessment tool. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This is a review of existing studies and will not require ethical approval. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication. The use of OC and the risk of CVDs including arterial and venous thrombosis remain a major concern among women of reproductive age. Thus, given the impact of COCs on the risk variables linked with CVDs, this review may provide an insight and assistance during COC use. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020216169.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacokinetic data are lacking for progestin-releasing subdermal contraceptive implants when used with either rilpivirine- or darunavir/ritonavir-based ART. OBJECTIVES To characterize the pharmacokinetics of etonogestrel or levonorgestrel implants when administered with these ART regimens over 48 weeks. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two separate, parallel, three-group, non-randomized, pharmacokinetic studies evaluated either etonogestrel or levonorgestrel in women receiving rilpivirine- or darunavir-based ART compared with women without HIV (control group). Participants on ART were switched to rilpivirine-based ART with a run-in period of 6 weeks or darunavir-based ART with a run-in of 2 weeks prior to implant insertion. Plasma was collected on Day 0, and 1, 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks post-insertion. Plasma progestin concentrations were compared between ART and control groups by geometric mean ratio (GMR) and 90% CI. RESULTS At the primary endpoint of Week 24, progestin concentrations were similar between the rilpivirine and control groups [etonogestrel: 1.18 (0.99-1.37); levonorgestrel: 1.16 (0.97-1.33)]. At Week 24, progestin exposure was higher in the darunavir groups compared with the control group [etonogestrel: 2.56 (1.69-3.28); levonorgestrel: 1.89 (1.38-2.29)]. Results remained consistent through to Week 48. No differences in etonogestrel-related adverse events were observed, but both ART groups experienced more menstrual abnormalities versus the control group with levonorgestrel. CONCLUSIONS Etonogestrel and levonorgestrel concentrations were not altered by rilpivirine-based ART. Although progestin concentrations were higher in the ART groups containing ritonavir-boosted darunavir, no implant-related serious adverse events were observed. Both progestin-releasing implants are an appropriate contraceptive option with either rilpivirine- or darunavir/ritonavir-based ART.

Effectiveness of optimized food-based recommendation promotion to improve nutritional status and lipid profiles among Minangkabau women with dyslipidemia: A cluster-randomized trial. BMC Public Health 2022; 22:21. [PMID: 34991541 PMCID: PMC8740332 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-12462-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In women of Minangkabau ethnicity, a high prevalence of dyslipidemia, overweight, and obesity is thought to be closely related to poor dietary practices. Promotion of local specific food-based recommendations (FBRs) was previously found to be effective in improving dietary practice and nutrient intakes related to dyslipidemia. This study aimed to describe the effects of the FBR promotion on the nutritional status and lipid profiles of Minangkabau women with dyslipidemia. METHODS We used a cluster-randomized design with a total subject of 123 Minangkabau women of reproductive age with dyslipidemia. They were recruited from 16 sub-villages and assigned to either the FBR group (n = 61) or the non-FBR group (n = 62). Data on body weight, height, waist circumference, and lipid profiles were collected at the baseline and the end of the trial. Linear mixed model analysis was used to analyze the effect of the intervention on nutritional status and lipid profiles. RESULTS The mean effect (95% confidence interval) of the intervention on body weight, body mass index, and waist circumference for the FBR group versus the non-FBR group were -1.1 (-1.8; -0.39) kg, -0.43(-0.76; -0.11) kg/m2 and -2.1(-3.7;-0.46) mm respectively (p <0.05). The Castelli's index in the FBR group improved, but there was no significant between-group difference in the change of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides at the end of the intervention. CONCLUSION The promotion of the FBRs positively impact the nutritional status but did not significantly affect the blood lipid profile of Minangkabau women with dyslipidemia. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Result System (PRS) as NCT04085874, in September 2019.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum lipid profile abnormalities are major predictors for coronary artery diseases. The relationship between demographic factors and dyslipidemia in Ethiopia is not completely explored. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of dyslipidemia among hypertensive patients in Lumame Primary Hospital. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 30, 2020, on the hypertensive patients in Lumame Primary Hospital. All adult hypertensive patients who visited the adult hypertensive care services during the study period were included. Interview-guided self-administered questionnaire and a chart review were used for data collection. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 24.0 was used for data analysis. RESULTS Out of 372 hypertensive patients, 190(51.1%) were females and the mean age of the study participants was 43.56 years (SD ± 4.31). The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in this study was 48.4%. Besides the overall prevalence, the prevalence of TC, TG, LDL-c, and HDL-c was 73(19.6%), 91(24.5%), 60(16.1%), and 115(30.9%), respectively. Females were at higher risk for having high levels of TC (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.54-3.13), TG (AOR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.34-3.79), LDL-c (AOR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.56-2.86), and HDL-c (AOR = 2.67, 95% CI = 1.44-5.67) than males. Respondents who were from urban were at higher risk for having high levels of TC (AOR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.04-6.83), TG (AOR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.09-2.86), LDL-c (AOR = 3.01, 95% CI = 1.45-7.43), and HDL-c (AOR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.94-4.55) than respondents who were from rural. Similarly, obese respondents were at higher risk for having high levels of TC (AOR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.64-2.00), TG (AOR = 3.78, 95% CI = 1.06-6.42), LDL-c (AOR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.66-2.12), and HDL-c (AOR = 4.23, 95% CI = 2.84-4.32) than to respondents who were underweight. CONCLUSION The prevalence of dyslipidemia among hypertensive patients was high. Independent variables such as age, gender, residence, family history of HTN, smoking, alcohol drinking, fruit diet habits, physical activity, DM, and BMI were significant determinants of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Introduction Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The prevalence of dyslipidemia is not known among Ethiopian adults. The prevalence is expected to rise due to the socio-economic development accompanied by lifestyle changes. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and associated risk factors among adult residents of Mekelle City. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 321 randomly selected subjects. Data were collected on sociodemographic, anthropometric, lifestyle, and clinical characteristics of the participants using the WHO STEPS survey instrument. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24.0. Student’s t-test and Pearson’s Chi-square test were used to assessing the interrelationship between each factor and outcome variables. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to identify risk factors associated with dyslipidemia. All statistical significance was considered at p ≤0.05. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia in this study was 66.7%. The prevalence of high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated triglyceride, elevated total cholesterol, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was 49.5%, 40.2%, 30.8%, and 16.5%, respectively. Being above 64 years (aOR: 2.196, 95% CI: 1.183–4.078) and 40–64 years old (aOR: 2.196, 95% CI: 1.183–4.078), overweight (aOR: 2.50, 95% CI: 1.314–4.756) and obesity (aOR: 15.489, 95% CI: 3.525–68.070), walking <150 minutes per week (aOR: 1.722, 95% CI: 1.004–2.953), raised fasting blood glucose (FBG) (aOR: 4.804, 95% CI: 1.925–11.988), and medium socio-economic status (aOR: 2.017, 95% CI: 1.044–3.899) were identified as significant predictors of dyslipidemia. Conclusions The finding of this study indicated that the prevalence of dyslipidemia is unacceptably high among adult residents of Mekelle City, which underlines an urgent need for early detection and public health interventions through the integrated involvement of public, governmental, and non-governmental organizations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and aims: evatedEl level serum of lipids stimulate atherosclerosis, which is the risk factor for stroke, peripheral vascular taeohrrratrrocvtra disease. The aim of this study was to explore the pattern and associated factors of dyslipidemia among Bangladeshi adult population.
Material and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient department (OPD) of four Medical College Hospitals, Bangladesh. 200 adults aged 20 to 65 years diagnosed case of dyslipidemia were randomly selected. Fasting CHO, HDL, LDL and TG were measured. According to the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III), dyslipidemia was classified into (a) Hyper-lipidemia: TC>200 mg/dl, TG>150 mg/dl, (b) Hyper cholesterolemia: TC>200 mg/dl, (c) Hyper-triglyceridemia: TG>150 mg/dl, and (d) Atherogenic-dyslipidemia: TG>150 mg/dl, LDLC>165 mg/dl.
Results: Study found 46% hyperlipidemia, 37% atherogenic dyslipidemia, 13.5% hypercholesterolemia and only 3.5% hypertriglyceridemia. BMI, FBS and HDL-C were significantly higher among female compare to male (p=<0.01, <0.01 and 0.04 respectively). TC and TG were significantly higher among higher calorie intake group in compare to normal intake group (p=0.04).
Conclusions: Results of this study concluded that hyperlipidemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia are common and female dyslipidemic patients are susceptible to develop higher BMI, FBS, and HDL-C.
