Recent studies have reported that high cholesterol is present in 25-30% of urban and 15-20% rural subjects. This prevalence is lower than high income countries. This ill effect of health may be responsible for various life style disorders like dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, malnutrition, osteoarthritis etc. Dyslpidemia is the serious life style diseases in Today era of fast and furious life. It has been well described about the consequences of Medo vikriti and its hazards in our classics.
