Muscles are the only tissues in the body that have the ability to contract and hence move the other parts of the body. The strength of any given muscle, in terms of force exerted on the skeleton depends upon length, shortening speed, cross-sectional area, sarcomere length, myosin isoforms and neural activation of motor units. Fatigue is a reversible physiological state in which there is an objective reduction in the performance or it's absence resulting from continuous or prolonged activity. The degree, duration and type of work are the important factors that affect the performance and onset of fatigue. To correlate body mass index (BMI) and muscle fatigability in young healthy adults. This cross sectional study included 100 apparently healthy young adults, both males and females between 18-24 years of age and without a history of alcohol or tobacco consumption, history of any cardiovascular disorders or diabetes mellitus and any drug history like corticosteroids, beta blockers. and underwent fatigue test using Mosso's Ergograph and the work done (Kgm) was calculated and correlated with body mass index. The results showed a strong positive correlation between Body Mass Index and work done(r=1) which was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Moreover, The results showed a very strong positive correlation(r=1) between different categories of Body Mass Index and the amount of work done by the exercising muscle, but the results were statistically non significant (p<0.05) in all the sub categories of body mass index. A strong positive correlation between Body Mass Index and amount of work done by the exercising muscle suggests that the level of fatigueness in an individual is related to his/her nutritional status and physical fitness.

This study had designed, to explore prevalence of obesity and overweight, on two criteria, Indian and World Health Organization (W.H.O.), amongst students and staff of

Hypothyroidism is a syndrome resulting from thyroid hormone deficiency or rarely inefficacy. It is a common endocrinological problem affecting especially women and the elderly. Thyroid hormones play an important role in synthesis, metabolism and mobilization of lipids. One of the most important symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain or inability to lose weight. The rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity in the past 20 to 30 years emphasizes the important role of lifestyle and environmental factors, because genetic changes could not have occurred so rapidly. Obesity is a complicated process that depends on signals of satiety and hunger, genetics, endocrine abnormalities, and other factors. Our study purposes to investigate the relationship between BMI and thyroid function in patients of subclinical hypothyroidism. Objective of this study is to correlate thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) and body mass index (BMI) in male and female patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. This cross sectional study included 42 Subclinical hypothyroid patients, both males and females between 20-45 years of age and without a history of alcohol or tobacco consumption, history of any cardiovascular disorders or diabetes mellitus and any drug history like corticosteroids, beta blockers. and TSH test estimated by VITROS 5600 integrated analyzer and correlated with body mass index. The results showed a positive Correlation analysis in subclinical Hypothyroid males between BMI and TSH, (r= 0.47), which was found to be statistically significant (p=0.02*) in case of subclinical Hypothyroid females the results indicated positive correlation between BMI and TSH (r= 0.58) which was found to be statistically significant (p=0.005*). A strong positive correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH).

To know the any correlation in obstructive sleep apnea and body mass index in hypertensive Subjects. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as a major health burden with a strong focus on the associated cardiovascular risk. OSA is a considered as secondary hypertension. Its episodes produce surges in systolic and diastolic pressure that keep mean blood pressure levels elevated at night. In many patients, blood pressure remains elevated during the daytime, when breathing is normal. This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 100 hypertensive subjects both male and female to evaluate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnoea and body mass index in hypertensive subjects in
