Abstract

Obesity has become more common over the past few decades and is now acknowledged as a global public health concern. Atherogenic dyslipidemia is a unique lipid condition associated with obesity that is defined by alterations in plasma lipoprotein levels in both the quantitative and qualitative domains. High levels of triglycerides, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased levels of tiny dense low-density lipoprotein particles are the primary changes in the lipid profile. It is important to remember that managing obesity and dyslipidemia requires a strict lifestyle adjustment, such as choosing the right medicine and leading a healthy life. So we want to determine the effect of intermittent fasting versus high intensity interval training on lipid profile and waist circumference in obese patients.
