Lipid is the structural component cellmembrane of living organism. It also supplies energy needed to survive our life. But excess amount of lipid is harmful for our body except HDL-cholesterol, so the maintenance of lipid profile is very important for keeping healthy and diseases free life. On the other hand Cardiac enzymes are protein needed for contraction and relaxation of heart muscle. If the lipid level of blood is very high a plaque is formed in the artery and thrombosis is occurred as a result the cardiac enzymes are run through blood fromheart muscle and develop myocardial infarction. This study was performed in BIRDEM laboratory. Having 75 patients, moderate exercise and overweight but lifestyle was sedentary. They were aware about their diet but they did not follow the daily dietary requirement. We had taken those results directly as the level of mg/dl for HDL- Cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, and U/L for creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), CK-MB & Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).We found among the 75 excess weighted patients in different age group, HDL-Cholesterol level were decreased and LDL- Cholesterol level was increased with the age. The Triglyceride and Total Cholesterol level also was increased with the increase of age. So, with the increasing ages the risk of development of heart diseases also increases. It may be suggested that all types of fatty and cholesterol rich food and taking regular physical exercise is necessary to avoid the risk of heart and other cardiovascular diseases.
