It is characterized by an increase in cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL levels, and a decrease in HDL levels. In present era, the way of life has changed drastically due to inactive sedentary life & excessive carbohydrate & fatty diet throughout the world. Because of these factors, the accumulation of Fat (Meda-Dhatu) occurs immensely. Dyslipidemia is the main disposing factor for the atherosclerosis, and the atherosclerosis is the main pathogenesis factor for cardiovascular disease. In Ayurvedic view, dyslipidemia is considered under Medoroga & can be considered similar to aggravated Dusta Meda Dhatu in the body which is caused due to hypo function of Medo-Dhatwagni leading to Medovaha Srotodusti Vikara.
