Dyslipidemia and its high prevalence in patients of hypertension and other non-communicable diseases is increasing. The aim of current study was to highlight the dyslipidemia in apparently healthy population by lipid profiling in Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. 150 individuals apparently healthy and with no previous records of hyperlipidemia were recruited.  Blood plasma samples were collected aseptically from healthy individuals for determination of lipid profile. Blood plasma samples were collected aseptically. Total cholesterol (TC) levels High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, Triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were determined. The 150 healthy subjects were between 20-70 years. Mean plasma levels of TC was 166.4 ±28.45 mg/dl, HDL-C was 48.34 ±8.79 mg/dl, 48.34 ±8.79 mg/dl, LDL-C was 87.42 ±29.82 mg/dl and TG were 151 ±65.92 mg/dl. TC and HDL-C levels were desirable and better. The level of LDL-C level below 100 mg/dl. The triglyceride level was recorded above upper limit. There is a need to investigate the problem of dyslipidemia at the community level.  The high TC level in healthy population is an alarming situation and could be used to predict future complications associated with it.
