Background: Prevalence of obesity is reaching epidemic proportion in India and is of concern as it increases risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and mortality. This study was done to evaluate the association of BP parameters with obesity indices in young adults.
Materials&Method: The study included 245 subjects in the age group of 18 to 22 yrs. According BMI, subjects were divided into three groups namely Normal Weight(NW), Overweight(OW) and obese. Blood Pressure was measured in sitting posture with a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Pulse Pressure (PP) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) were calculated. Statistical analysis included descriptive, Pearson's correlation and regression analysis.
Results: Blood pressure was significantly higher in OW and Obese groups. SBP, DBP & MAP were all significantly correlated with obesity indices in both sexes.
Conclusion: Study shows BP Parameters are strongly correlated with obesity indices. Among them BMI is a better predictor of SBP&whereas BMI, WC, HC being equal predictor of DBP & MAP

Diabetes is a multisystem disorder accompanied by widespread biochemical, morphological and functional abnormalities which may precipitate certain complications that affect the renal, cardiovascular, neural system, liver, skin and tissues like collagen and elastic fibers. This study was undertaken to find out the correlation between glycemic control and pulmonary function tests(PFT).
Study group consists of 90 patients who were age, sex, height and weight matched. PFT were measured by Medspiror. Fasting blood sugar(FBS),Postprandial blood sugar(PPBS), Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) levels were recorded. The data was statistically analysed. It showed that with the worsening of glycemic control there was decrease across all the PFT parameters.
Normal lung mechanisms and gas exchange are influenced by integrity of pulmonary connective tissue and microvasculature. Hyperglycemia causes glycosylation of lung collagen and hence less compliant lung parenchyma leading to restrictive lung changes.
