Abstract
Introduction: Obesity is the leading factor in the pathogenesis of health disorders such as hypertension and type-2 diabetes mellitus. Since BMI is the associated with obesity, the present study has been carried out to evaluate the association between Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) level and BMI. Material and Methods: A prospective study has been carried including 150 subjects between 20-70 years were enrolled in the study, comprising of 103 females and 47 males from PMCH, Dhanbad and RIMS, Ranchi. Statistical calculation was done using SPSS. Results: The mean BMI was in the overweight range, 25.58 ± 4.77 kg/m2 and was higher in females. FBG, SBP and DBP increased significantly with increasing BMI status (P=0.001, P=<0.0001 and P =<0.0001 respectively). Older people were having higher BP (P value = 0.04). There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose (r=0.751, P <0.0001). Conclusion: BMI and FBG are positively correlated and subjects are therefore at risk of Obesity and its related conditions.
