Subscribe/Renew Journal
Objectives: To investigate fasting blood sugar (FBS) and lipid profile in young adult college students to correlates with BMI to find out risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. (CVD)
Design: Observational cross sectional study.
Materials & Methods: Students of SS Institute of Medical Science and Rese arch Center, Davanagere, Karnataka were assessed for anthropometric measures, fasting blood sugar and their lipid profiles at central Lab of Biochemistry department during Jan 2010 to Jun 2010.
Results: Among 257 students male were 130 and female were 127. In 130 male students 11 were underweight i.e., their BMI was < 19 Kg/m2, 94 were of normal that is their BMI was between 19 Kg/ m2 - 26 Kg/m2 and 25 were overweight with BMI of >26 Kg/m2. In 127 female students 21 were underweight i.e., their BMI was < 19 Kg/m2, 82 were of normal that is their BMI was between 19 Kg/ m2 - 26 Kg/m2 and 24 were overweight with BMI of >26 Kg/m2. The mean BMI of males is 22.5±6.36 Kg/m2 and females is 22±5.65 Kg/m2 Mean BMI of the three groups in the 130 male students was 22.66±3.36 and that in 127 female is 21.36±3.49. Mean fasting blood sugar level in male is 82.25±9.48 mg/dl, and in female 83.03±10.62 mg/dl. Mean total cholesterol level in male is 155.75±28.05 mg/dl and in Female 161.43±27.33 mg/dl. Mean Triglyceride level was in male 95±39.65 mg/dl and in female 96.08±29.66 mg/dl. Mean HDL-C level was in male 39.41±3.94 and in female 39.29±4.60. Mean LDL-C level was in male 96.51±23.17 and in female 103.17±24.57. Mean VLDL level in male was 18.48±7.78 and that in female 18.95±6.21.
Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity in adult college students shows 1.5% in male and 1.16% in female. Compare to male and female the fasting blood sugar, Cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides levels are higher and significant in female than male. This result indicates females are more prone to develop cardiovascular diseases.
