“…Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India by Panda et al [18] in the year 2017 and it was concluded that there is a rising burden of hypertension among study population and waist hip ratio was strongly associated with hypertension. From the various studies conducted in the direction [19][20][21][22][23] results seem to be compatible with the outcome of our study, though smaller sample size and lake of gender wise data, have been the major limitations of our study.…”

Background: According to the various studies done previously, hypertension may starts since adolescence. Therefore early detection is always good to check its progression. Methods: A case-control observational study based on school-going adolescents of both sexes between the age group of 10 to 16 years was done among 30 control and 30 overweight children. Their blood pressure, pulse pressure and anthropometric measurement were done according to the standard protocols. Unpaired student t-test was applied to compare the various parameters.Results: We were found that the significant difference between antropometric and blood parameters values of normal and control subjects with p-value 0.001. Conclusion: Outcome of our study suggested that most of the overweight students were hypertensive's and might be at a risk of getting obsessed and will prone to future risk of cardiac disorders.

“…[4] Increased central obesity is reported to lower physical fitness index and cardiovascular efficiency, especially during exercise, due to lower utilization of oxygen per unit of body mass. [5] Obesity in general is associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. [6] Many endocrine, inflammatory, neural, and cell-intrinsic pathways get dysregulated in obesity, which independently and in interdependent ways leads to insulin resistance.…”

ABSTRACT-Background: Obesity is rising in medical students due to their stressful academic calendar and sparse time for sports. Obesity is aggravated by the regular drinking of alcohol, a recreational and stress-busting activity, particularly for the male students. Obesity leads to insulin resistance. Homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) >2 has been reported to independently predict cardiovascular risk. Although many studies are there on obesity of medical students, few studies exist in Central India on the prevalence of insulin resistance in medical students. Therefore, prevalence of insulin resistance and its association with obesity and alcoholism was investigated in the first year male medical students of LN Medical College, Bhopal, India. Methods: 50 male medical students of first year were investigated and considered overweight/obese if BMI>=23 or centrally obese if waist circumference (WC)>=90cm. Alcohol intake of more than 20gm per day was considered as high alcohol intake. HOMA-IR was calculated from fasting glucose and fasting insulin, whereas HOMA-IR>=2 was regarded as high. Results: Insulin resistance measured by HOMA-IR>=2 was found in 40%, central obesity as per waist circumference in 20%, overall obesity/overweight as per BMI in 60% and alcoholism in 42%. Significant association was found between insulin resistance and central obesity measured by waist circumference (p value 0.001), but not with BMI and alcoholism. Conclusion: Prevalence of insulin resistance in first year male medical students was high and insulin resistance was significantly associated with central obesity.

“…Resting heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure were higher in overweight and obese children compared to normal children; indicates a lower level of cardiovascular efficiency in overweight and obese boys compared to normal weight boys. [14] Antioxidant/pro-oxidant imbalance in hypertension can lead to detrimental consequences and long term adverse effects like atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. More extensive study is required to check the association between hypertension and oxidative stress.…”

ABSTRACT-Background: Microalbuminuria in hypertension has been described as an early sign of kidney damage and a predictor for end stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease. More specifically it is seen amongst patients suffering from hypertension. Methods: This study was conducted at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, India in the department of emergency medicine and 84 subjects were included in the evaluation in the age of more than 30 years. All patients were diagnosed by clinical examination, anthropometric measurement, blood pressure, urinary microalbumin, and urinary creatinine. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS, version 16.0 p-values were calculated by chi-square test, ANOVA unpaired t-test. The p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: It was found that microalbuminuria among hypertensive patients increased steadily with the advancing age and the duration of hypertension. The features of high urinary microalbumin 52.09±8.62 mg/24hr and the urinary creatinine 2.37±0.86mg/dl were prevalent in hypertensive patients and it increased in both male and female patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertensive individuals is high, and it revealed strong association between microalbuminuria and hypertension. Our findings suggest that microalbuminuria could be a useful marker to assess risk stratification and management of cardiovascular disease and renal disease.
