Abstract
Abstract: As the standard of living is rising, obesity is emerging as a global epidemic in both children and adults. BMI is the marker of body fat content. Increase in BMI is not only the risk factor for coronary heart disease but also reduced ANS activity .However, the exact relationship between Increase in BMI & reduced ANS activity is lacking. Hence this study is the need of the hour to know the relationship between increases in BMI & ANS activity. This study was conducted to know the relationship between increases in BMI & ANS activity. The present study was a cross-sectional study consisting of 50 individuals in the age group of 20-40years.This study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Adichunchanagiri institute of medical sciences, B.G.Nagara, NagamangalaTaluk, Mandy district, after the institutional ethical clearance and written consent from each participant AFT (BPRS-Blood pressure respond to standing) was recorded. The parameters thus recorded was analyzed for statistical significance using Students’’ test and p <0.05 was considered the level of significance. Blood pressure respond to standing was significantly decreased at (p < 0.001** ) in obese individuals (Group II) as compared to normal(Group I).The results of this study indicate that increase in BMI, is suggestive of decreased ANS activity. Keywords: BMI - Body mass index. AFT- Autonomic function test, coronary heart disease
