Introduction: Dyslipidaemia is a medical condition characterized by disorders in lipid metabolism leading to changes or abnormalities in the blood levels of lipids and lipoproteins. The type of food consumed and inactivity and/or reduced physical activities asides from medication and genetics has been widely linked to dyslipidemia. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia among the students of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki. Research Methods: The study was a cross-sectional prevalence study comprising of 200 participants who consented to the study. Fasting blood samples were collected for the estimation of total cholesterol (TChol), triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) while low-density lipoprotein was calculated using Friedewald’s equation. Anthropometric data were collected using meter rule, flexible tape and digital scale for calculation of body mass index (BMI) and waist/hip ratio (WHR). Results: The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 62%, dominated by HDL dyslipidemia (22%) and TCholdyslipidemia (21%) while other were TG dyslipidemia (11%) and LDL dyslipidemia (8%). The prevalence was higher among females than males. The differences in the levels of cholesterol within and between the different age groups were statistically not significant (p > 0.05). The levels of cholesterol were observed to increase with increasing BMI and WHR. Conclusion: The findings of this study necessitate the need for increased awareness of healthy feeding habits as well as reduction of BMI and WHR as strategies to prevent lipid-associated complications in old age.
