“…The global epidemic of overweight and obesity termed "globesity" is a major public health problem in developed as well as developing world. 1 In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight worldwide, of these over 650 million were obese. 2 The rate of being overweight or obese climbed from 7% in 1980 to 17% in 2013 for Bangladeshi adults.…”

Background: Overweight and obesity has been announced as a global epidemic by The World Health Organization. These conditions have strong associations with renal function impairment. Objectives: To evaluate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in obese male adults and to observe the correlation of eGFR with body mass index (BMI). Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at the Department of Physiology, Rangpur Medical College, Rangpur. After briefing about objectives, adult males who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study by consensus. The study involved 60 people who were divided into two groups: apparently healthy adult males of average weight (Group A) and apparently healthy adult males who were obese (Group B). The subjects were selected from different districts of the city of Rangpur. Their body mass index & serum creatinine were measured. eGFR was calculated by Cockcroft-Gault equation using serum creatinine. For statistical analysis, unpaired t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient test were performed as applicable by computer-based SPSS–25.0 for windows. Regarding the interpretation of results, p≤0.05 was accepted as significant. Results: The mean of estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly (p≤ 0.001) lower in obese male adults than in normal-weight male adults. This study also found a highly significant (p≤0.05) negative correlation of eGFR (r = -0.317) with body mass index. Conclusion: eGFR is reduced in obese male adults, and it is negatively correlated with BMI. Regular body mass index screening is recommended as an easy and effective means of assessing body weight.

“…Body Mass Index (BMI), which is the same for both sexes and individuals of all ages, provides the most accurate indicator of obesity at the population level. Weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared yields BMI (BMI=kg/m 2 -Quetelet's Equation) [5]. According to WHO, the following BMI ranges represent normal weight, overweight, and obesity: 18.5-24.9, 25-29.9, and 30 kg/m2, respectively.…”

According to reports, obesity is linked to a range of cardiovascular ailments. According to some researchers, obesity may increase the prevalence of high blood pressure in young adults. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the Filaria and General Hospital, Savar Bangladesh from May to July 2023 to compare the pulse rate and blood pressure between young obese and non-obesity people. Participants who were obese were aged (mean±SD) 41.76±4.35 (range, 32-54) and those who were not obese were aged 36.43±3.12 (range, 31-52) years. In the obese group, there were 26 (65%) males and 14 (35% females), compared to 24 (60%) males and 16 (40%) females in the non-obese group. The BMI (mean±SD) of the participants who were obese was 27.8±1.56 (range 18-31.3) Kg/m2, while the BMI of the participants who were not obese was 19.9±1.03 (range 16.7-28.0) Kg/m2. The resting pulse rate was higher significantly in obese compared to non-obese participants. The SBP was higher significantly in obese compared to non-obese participants along with same trend in result during DBP measurement. The obese subjects' resting pulse rates were higher than those of the non-obese ones.

“…BMI is calculated as weight (kg) divided by height in meters square (BMI=kg/m 2 -Quetelet's Equation). 5 WHO has set standards for normal weight, overweight and obesity by BMI (BMI 18.5-24.9), (BMI 25-29.9) and ≥30kg/m 2 respectively. But, the BMI cut o point for normal weight, overweight and obesity for Asian population are lower than the WHO criteria which are (BMI 18.5-22.9), (BMI 23-27.5) and ≥27.5 kg/m 2 respectively.…”

“…10 SNS is the primary regulator of cardiovascular system activity; obesity might trigger alteration within the sympathetic regulation of cardiovascular function, thus favouring the rise in cardiovascular complications and morbidity. 5 Blood pressure (BP) is regulated by activity within the autonomic nervous system. 11 Obesity is related to sympathetic activation and is the leading explanation of development of hypertension.…”

Obesity has been reported to be associated with a number of cardiovascular diseases. Some researchers forecast that obesity may contribute to increase prevalence of high blood pressure in young adults. To compare pulse rate and blood pressure between young obese and non-obese subjects, this cross-sectional analytical study was done in the Department of Physiology, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College from January to December 2017. Fifty obese (BMI ≥27.5 kg/m2) and age-sex matched non-obese (BMI 18.5-22.9 kg/m2) young adult were selected. The age (35.56 ± 3.02 years versus 32.40 ± 4.20 years; p=0.116) and sex 26 (52.0%) male versus 31 (62.0%) male; p=0.313) were not differ between obese and non-obese subjects. The mean resting pulse rate (82.98 ± 3.50 beats /minute versus 72.64 ± 3.58 beats/minute; p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (130.20 ± 10.00 mm Hg versus 107.30 ± 10.60 mm Hg; p<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (80.90 ± 7.19 mm Hg versus 67.90 ± 7.22 mm Hg; p<0.001) were higher in obese compared to non-obese participants. Obesity increases pulse rate and blood pressure in young adults. Bangladesh Med J. 2021 Sept; 51(1): 47-51
