Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between serum cholesterol level and body Obesity in Derna City, and to investigate the trend of the prevalence of obesity in Derna and its relationship with hypercholesterolemia. The study was a cross-sectional study carried out on the 66 (40 males and 26 females) weight between 65 – 135 kg, which were selected using multistage cluster sampling method. Plasma cholesterol was measured in the morning after a 12-hour fasting and was determined by auto-analyzer. Hypercholesterolemia (HC) was defined by a total plasma cholesterol level over 200 mg/dl. That the percent of males was 40( 60.6% ), and the percent of female was 26( 39.4% ), Ranges weights of the people who took them samples were, from 55kg to 135 kg, the percent of less weight was (7.6% ) . The weights that were above normal weight rate was from 86kg to 135kg by (28.79% ), The percent of cholesterol levels ranged between 90mg\dl to 350mg\dl, The percentage of people who increased their cholesterol were 7(10.6%), the percent and the type of Nutrition, that was, fat, vegetable, fruits, and carbohydrate. The highest proportion of fat by 31(47.0 %) , and less percentage of fruit by,8 (12.1%), The rate of Heart disease in the people and there percent were, 13 ( 19.7 %), the people did not have heart disease were 53( 80.3%), and the proportion of smokers from non-smokers were, smokers 17(25.8 %), non smoking 49(74.2 %). I note that the Mean and Std. deviation of the weight was 3.0 (Std, 1.478), and the quality of nutrition was 2.11(Std .1.229), smoking was1.74, (Std. 0.441), and heart disease1.80 (Std.0, 401).
