Objective: To assess the effects of apple cider vinegar on lipid profile in prediabetics.
Methodology: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was at Bahria University Health Sciences Campus from December 2022 to June 2023. The study included 25 subjects18-year-old and above. Study intervention included apple cider vinegar along with diet and lifestyle changes for a total duration of 12 weeks. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 23. p<0.05 was the cut off value.
Results: Most of the study participants were in the age group 32 to 40. Blood group AB was the blood group of majorities of study participants. Apple cider vinegar intervention along with lifestyle changes significantly reduced triglycerides (p=0.04) and highly significantly elevated HDL <0.001. Furthermore, the apple cider vinegar along with lifestyle changes significantly reduced weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference (p<0.001), whereas waist hip ratio was significantly reduced.
Conclusion: Apple cider vinegar in prediabetics proved efficacious in lowering triglycerides, HDL, weight, BMI, and waist circumference.

Key words: Apple cider vinegar, lipid profile, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, total Cholesterol, weight.
