Abstract              Background: According to the Indian Council of Medical Research there were 930,985 cases of stroke in 2004 in India. Aims and Objectives: to Study correlation between dyslipidemia and cerebrovascular accidents in non-diabetic patients at tertiary health care center. Methodology: All non-diabetic patients with features of stroke admitted to tertiary care hospital from December 2013 to December 2015 were taken for the study. Data will be collected by means of case record form. All non-diabetic patients of cerebrovascular accidents were enrolled in this study with informed consent and detailed patient information. Scale (mNIHSS)10, Modified Rankin Scale (MRS)11 etc. was used for the assessment of outcome of Stroke. The statistical analysis done by t-test calculated by SPSS 19 version software. The statistical analysis done by t-test calculated by SPSS 19 version software. Result: The mild mNIHSS scale contributes 64% of whole population, moderate and severe mNIHSS scale contributes 26% and 10% of study population. The p value of all other lipids is also significant but r value is not significantly high. MRS score showed a good clinical outcome with reduction in LDL levels and the corresponding P value is 0.26 and r value of 0.15 which is significant. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that there good co-relation is found with LDL i.e. good clinical outcome was with reduced level of it so the intervention should be directed specifically to reduce the level it.
