Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Obesity is a condition where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on their health. Body mass index is a statistical measurement derived from height & weight BMI between 18.5 & 25 kg/m2 indicate a normal weight. BMI of 25-29.9 is considered over weight& that of 30 kg/m2 or above is considered obese. High BMI now ranks with major global health problems like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, in total global burden of disease. For people with obesity, weight loss based solely on life style change in very challenging [2,3] oxidative stress is essential an imbalance between the production of free radicals & obesity of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidant. Present study was carried out on 1000 subjects 650 were Rajasthani & 350 were south Indian. We divided them further according to BMI and obesity indices. They were than estimated for MDA before consuming fibres diet.MDA was also estimated after 30 days consumption and results were statistically evaluated. [6] BMI & various other indices of obese like waist circumference, hip circumference, waist hip ratio are considered as screening tools for overweight & obese. Oxidative stress increased with increased BMI. Dietary effect showed significant drop in all three categories of BMI (P<0.001).
