Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Obesity is becoming a pandemic these days. People are overweight and are losing the joy of self control. Lack of exercise, poor dietary habits lead to hypertension and diabetes mellitus. We wanted to scientifically compare anthropometric and pulmonary function parameters in Diabetes & Healthy Controls. The present study was a case control hospital based study conducted in the Department of Physiology in collaboration with the Department of Internal Medicine and Department of TB and Chest in Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad. The study included 50 type II diabetic patients and 50 healthy persons, confirmed by normal blood glucose levels, as control group.Significant effect of BMI was observed on FVC and FEV 1. Diabetic patients with BMI < 30 kg/m2 had higher percentage of the predicted FVC and FEV1 to those with BMI > 30kg/m2 . An inverse relation was observed between waist circumference (WC) and FVC and FEV1 in both male and female diabetic patients. The aforesaid observations clearly establish the fact that chronic hyperglycemia and upper body adiposity in diabetic patients cause restrictive type of pulmonary dysfunction as is evidenced by significant reduction in FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/ FVC ratio.
