The present study deals with the correlation of body mass index and four lipid profiles, viz. serum cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C and LDL-C in 251 randomly selected confirmed cases of diabetes mellitus (113 males and 138 females) aged 31-91 years of Gurdaspur, Punjab. The results indicate that in females, statistically negatively significant correlation (r = - 0.26) was found in LDL - C in age group 41 - 50 years and in males, statistically negatively significant correlation (r = - 0.33) in age group 41-50 years in HDL-C and positive correlations in triglyceride in age group 31 - 40 years (r = 0.41) and in age group 61 + years (r = 0.23).
