Abstract

There has been a great deal of research activity focusing on the relationship between insulin resistances (IR), hyperlidemia and Rheumatic arthritis (RA). It appears to be a general agreement that IR and hyperlipidaemia are commonly seen in patinas with RA. A case-control study was done among 45 RA patients and 42 healthy controls. The study was conducted in the outpatient department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). A structured questionnaire was used to collect data through face-to-face interview. TO and LDL were significantly higher and HDL was lower in comparison to those of control and associated with IR. Hyperlipidemias are associated with RA in Bangladeshis.
