Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
As a result of various research and developments in the medical field in 20th century, many health problems that were common a century ago do not exist today. But they have been replaced by disease like high blood pressure, obesity, and coronary heart disease attributed to faulty and sedentary life style associated with industrialization, urbanization, economic development and market globalization. This combination of unhealthy diet and lifestyle is having a significant impact on the health and nutritional status of population, particularly in developing countries and countries in transition. Methodology: The present study was carried out in the department of physiology, Amaltas institute of medical sciences Dewas (M.P.). We have selected the 250 individuals of age groups 14 to 25 years. A randomized cross sectional non interventional study was performed. Data thus obtained were analyzed by Chi square test with the help of SPSS-20 (software Package used for Statistical Analysis) software for statistical analysis. Results: The results of the present study showed that there was a significant association of Waist circumference with Systolic Blood pressure on both male as well as female students. Significant linear association of Waist Hip Ratio with blood pressure in males only, while in females Waist Hip Ratio failed to show association with blood pressure
