Abstract Introduction: Dyslipidemia is measured to be one among the 5 top most threatening factors for cardio-vascular diseases, along with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and obesity. Plant seeds like flax seeds are easy to consume and more effective in dyslip- idemic patients. Therefore, this study is intended to conclude whether flax seed powder has any dose response on clinical variables associated with dyslipidemia in dyslipidemic patients. Aim: To study the impact of supplementation of flax seed powder on the lipid levels as well as on the nutritional status of dyslipid- emic patients. Methodology: A private hospital, Galaxy Specialty Centre, Jaipur was selected to conduct the study. Total 100 dyslipidemic patients of age between 30 and 55 years were selected and 50 patients were given flax seed powder 15 grams per day for three months and 50 patients were kept as control. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical estimations were measured at pre and post inter- vention. Results: After three months of supplementation with flax seed powder, there were significant improvements observed in the an- thropometric measurements like weight, waist, hip circumference and BMI of the dyslipidemic patients. However, no changes were observed in control group. The lipid levels of the experimental group were found to be reduced significantly. The high density lipo- protein cholesterol was also increased in experimental group whereas in control group it was almost same. Conclusion: The results indicate that intervention with flax seed powder may be regarded a useful remedial food for the manage- ment of dyslipidemia.

CVDs are the main widespread reason of mortality as well as morbidity in both under developed and highly developed countries and India is no exception Gupta., et al. [2]. Dys- lipidemia is strongly related to the pathophysiology of cariovascu- lar diseases. It is a well-known determinant for CVD [3]. The term dyslipidemia describes the abnormal levels of the lipoproteins such as higher levels of triglycerides (TGs) in serum or LDL-C or low lev- els of HDL-C. There are some primary causes of dyslipidemia that include the over production and poor clearance of the total choles- Citation: Deepika Sharma and Nimali Singh. “Impact of Flax Seed Powder Supplementation on the Anthropometry and Bio-chemical Parameters of Dyslipidemic Patients".
