Exploring Cardiovascular Health: The Role of Dyslipidemia and Inflammation
The findings of this study highlight critical implications for public health policies and healthcare systems in South India. The higher prevalence of CVDs in urban areas necessitates targeted interventions such as community-based physical activity programs, dietary counseling, and stress management initiatives. Biochemical management strategies, including early screening and control of dyslipidemia through lipid-lowering agents and addressing elevated hs-CRP levels with anti-inflammatory measures, are essential. Supplementation with folate and vitamin B12 to manage hyperhomocysteinemia should also be considered. However, the cross-sectional nature of the study and its single-center design limit causal inference and generalizability, emphasizing the need for multicenter, longitudinal research to validate these findings and guide comprehensive CVD prevention strategies.
