Abstract

Introduction:  Appearance of gray hair before the age of 25 years in Asian population considered as premature canities. The degree of hair graying is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. Studies says that visible ageing sign reflects the poor cardiovascular health status irrespective of the chronological ageing. However datas on the role of premature canities is not well established and datas were sparse. Hence the aim of the present study is (i) to evaluate the atherogenic risk in premature canities and (ii) to understand the inter relationship of premature canities  with history of diabetes and hypertension Materials and methods:  This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2021 to October 2021 among the college students studying at ACS Medical College & Hospital, Chennai, India. Subjects with vitiligo, premature graying syndrome, Autoimmune thyroid disease or under treatment for any clinical conditions were excluded from this study. The Inclusion criteria were healthy volunteers of aged < 25 years. The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. After obtaining informed consent demographic parameters were collected in preformed proforma. Fasting blood samples were collected in plain tubes and analyzed for lipid profile, total protein, albumin, thyroid profile. Atherogenic Index of plasma (AIP) calculated.
