Monitoring and maintaining healthy levels of lipids is important in staying healthy. While the body produces the cholesterol needed to function properly, the source for some cholesterol is the diet. Eating too much of foods that are high in cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans unsaturated fats (trans fats) or having an inherited predisposition can result in a high level of cholesterol in the blood. The extra cholesterol may be deposited in plagues on the walls of blood vessels. Plaques can narrow or eventually block the opening of blood vessels, leading to hardening of the arteries, and increasing the risk of numerous health problems, including heart disease (Doet al., 2013) and stroke. LDL and Oxidised LDl are the main culprit for developing health problems. A high level of triglycerides in the blood is also associated with an increased risk of developing cardio-vascular disease (CVD), although the reason for this is not well understood. Studies(Kuklina et al., 2000) show that a large proportion of adults with high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remain untreated or undertreated despite growing use of lipid-lowering medications.Keywords

Mobile or cellular phones are now an integral part of modern telecommunications, the use of phones is not limited to phone calls only but people are getting various information's and using them for political, civic, health and many more purposes. In many countries, over half the population uses mobile phones. In 2014, there is an estimated 6.9 billion subscriptions globally and this number is going to rise sharply in coming years. In some parts of the world, mobile phones are the most reliable or the only phones available. Due to presence of the large number of mobile phone users, it is important to investigate, understand and monitor any potential public health impact.Keywords
