Description
Background: Global obesity is an epidemic that is becoming worse. An individual is considered obese if their body mass index (BMI) is 30 kg/m2 or more. It is one of the type 2 diabetes risk factors that can be changed. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship between BMI, BP, and random blood sugar (RBS) in a group of young, healthy adults in Mithilanchal region. Methods: There are 100 young people in this study, 46 of whom are male and 54 of whom are female, ranging in age from 18 to 30 during study period from May 2021 to November 2021. After a 10-minute rest interval, each subject’s blood pressure was taken using a sphygmomanometer in their right arm. The individuals’ blood pressure, waist-hip ratio, BMI, and random blood sugar levels are measured. Result: The BMI averaged 26.26±3.34 kg/m2. WHR averaged 0.91±0.24. RBS was 96.20±18.21 mg/dl on average. In comparison to individuals with normal WHR, both diastolic and systolic blood pressures increased dramatically in those with elevated BMI status and excessively raised WHR. Additionally, compared to individuals with normal WHR, those with raised WHR had considerably higher RBS. Conclusion: In young adults, there is a favorable correlation between random blood pressure and blood sugar levels and elevated body mass index (BMI) and unusually elevated waist-hip ratio. As a result, young people everywhere run the danger of growing up to have chronic conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cancer, stroke, and other cardiovascular illnesses. Therefore, in order to stop the development of chronic diseases in the future, young people should have their BMI and waist-hip ratio regularly evaluated and maintained.
