PRE METABOLIC STATE - A NEW VARIANT TO BE INTRODUCED
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 14
Abstract
BACKGROUND In this era of busy and stressful life, medical students rarely get time for their own health concerns. They lead sedentary life style with less physical activities and also have immense physical, mental, social and emotional stress which has detrimental effects on their health. These hard facts impose a negative effect on their metabolic health in specific relating to weight gains, altered lipid profiles, raised blood glucose levels and even stress induced elevated blood pressure. Keeping this context we proposed to study to coin a new terminology as pre- metabolic state. AIM To evaluate and coin a new term of pre-metabolic state in potentially obese candidates through assessment of their various metabolic parameters. OBJECTIVES To assess the biological/serological markers according to the NHANES (The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) guidelines for metabolic states and to correlate the clinical and physical findings in these medical graduates with their biochemical profiles. METHOD 120 medical students were assessed on the basis of a detailed history on a basis of a predesigned questionnaire attending Internal medicine OPD. Detailed anthropometric measurements and blood pressure was recorded. Blood glucose, lipid profile was estimated. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Chi-Square test was applied and (p<0.005) was considered significant. RESULT Overweight subjects had increased prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension, impaired blood glucose level, decreased HDL and elevated triglyceride level. CONCLUSION A new terminology like “premetabolic state” may be proposed for overweight individuals who also have any one criteria of metabolic syndrome present in them.
