The present study was conducted to assess the seasonal changes in autonomic parameters. The study was conducted in 55 healthy male medical students of first professional M.B.B.S. and employees of 18 to 50 years age group at G.S.V.M. Medical College, Kanpur. The change in mean weight, mean height, body mass index(BMI), and Waist to Hip ratio of the subjects were found stastistically insignificant(p>0.05). Waist circumference in Dec-Jan was 81.3±7.9 cm and in May-June was 80.6±8.0 cm. This decrease in waist circumference was significant (p<0.05). Autonomic parameters like difference of SBP (in standing test), 30:15 R-R Ratio (ratio of longest R-R interval around 30th beat and smallest R-R interval around 15th beat) (in Lying to standing test), E:I Ratio (in Deep breathing test), Valsalva Ratio, difference of DBP (in Hand grip test), and difference of SBP&difference of DBP (in Cold pressor test) were found insignificant (p>0.05).
Thus, it is concluded that in healthy men autonomic parameters do not vary with season whereas waist circumference vary with season, with higher level in the winter (Dec-Jan) and lower in summer (May-Jun).

Obesity is becoming pandemic and in developing country like India problem of obesity is also growing at a very fast rate. In men Estradiol (E2) is important must be kept in balance for good health. Serum estradiol changes with Body weight. This study was conducted to see the association of serum total estradiol (E2) level with the waist circumference in adult males. It was a cross sectional study, conducted on 89 adult males (aged 18-50 years). Anthropometric measurement i.e. waist circumference (cm) was taken as a criteria for classifying normal weight and overweight&obese males. The morning venous blood sample was drawn between 8-11 A.M. from each subject and serum was separated. Serum Total estradiol was measured using ELISA. When compared with waist circumference, serum total estradiol in normal weight "Group A" with W.C. < 90cm, was 19.61±8.56pg/ml and in overweight and obese subjects, "Group B" with W.C. > 90cm it was 52.10±29.83 pg/ml. Thus it was concluded that Serum Total Estradiol level significantly increased in "Group B" (W.C. > 90cm) as compared to subjects with" Group A" (W.C.< 90cm).Therefore we can delineate that serum total estradiol might increase significantly because of increased abdominal fat mass in overweight and obese subjects i.e. subjects who had increased waist circumference(> 90 cm)Keywords
