摘要
Obesity and weight gain arising in early childhood, is reflecting as the strong risk of cardiovascular diseases(CVD). Cardiovascular risk factors starts early, track through the young age and manifest in the middle age in most societies and has greater mortality also. Therefore to study CVD risk factors in the younger subjects were equally important in the older subjects in South Asians. So the aim of present study was to investigate the association of BMI with various cardiovascular risk factors. The present study was performed in the first year medical students of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Deemed University, Karad in the year 2011-2012. For Biochemical parameters 12 hr. fasting blood samples were collected and by using std. kit methods biochemical parameters were measured. BMI was calculated by measuring height and weight. Anthropometric parameter such as waist circumference (W.C), waist hip ratio (W/H) and neck circumference (N.C) was also measured by using std. methods. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate was (H.R) measured under basal condition. The percentage of male students was showing high prevalence of BMI (53.50%), W.C(42.30%), W/H(26.80%) and N.C(90.10%) while in female students high prevalence of BMI (48.10%), W.C(46.90%), W/H(48.10%) and N.C(28.40%) was observed.
