I have 2 groups in my study. In which one is patient groups and another is gender and age matched healthy control group. To compare the these 2 groups which test should I use- paired or independent t-test?

Dear Rajnish,
If you want to compare two groups (with different subjects) you should use independent t-test.
All the best
