ICMR Study Reveals Alarming Cholesterol Crisis in India

ICMR Study Reveals Alarming Cholesterol Crisis in India

A big study in India found that almost 9 out of 10 adults have unhealthy fat levels in their blood.

This is called dyslipidemia.

It's a serious problem because it can lead to heart disease.

The study shows that many people, even those who look healthy, are at risk.

The main issue is low levels of good cholesterol (HDL).

This problem is common in both men and women, but women have it more.

It's also more common in cities, but rural areas are affected too.

The study says that people should start checking their cholesterol earlier and make lifestyle changes to stay healthy.

This includes eating better, exercising, and avoiding bad habits like smoking.
