Abstract :

A total of two eighty seven individual adults attending to medicine outpatient department, with age group of 35–50 years were included in the study.Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were evaluated by standard procedures. Statistical analysis was established.Significant systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p<0.003) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p<0.044) were observed with BMI variations. The observed anthropometric parameters like weight (p<0.001), height (p<0.003), WC (0.001), HC (0.001) were found highly significant with BMI classification. Fasting insulin levels were found highly significantwas positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure (p< 0.046) of BMI <25 kg/m2.The highly significant serum total cholesterol (P<0.002) and triglycerides (p<0.034) were observed with BMI variations. There were no significant difference observed for HDL–cholesterol (p<0.641) and LDL–cholesterol (P<0.062) with BMI variations. However VLDL (p< 0.034) showed highly significant with BMI variations. Strong correlation was observed between fasting insulin and blood pressure in obese subjects.
