| description | Introduction: Modern lifestyle has resulted in an increased
prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases along with
being overweight. An interaction between the three factors has
also been demonstrated.
Aim: The study aimed to assess the relationship of Body Mass
Index (BMI), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Peak Expiratory
Flow Rate (PEFR) in healthy individuals.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, observational
study was done in the Department of Physiology, KGMU,
Lucknow from 30th July 2019 to 30th July 2020. Forty healthy
individuals, aged 18-35 years were assessed for height, weight,
blood pressure and spirometric parameter of PEFR. PEFR was
chosen as it was a reliable representative of airways functioning.
PEFR reflects proximal airway calibre changes which might be
due to effect of airway geometry. A correlation test was run to
test the relation between BMI and PEFR and MAP and PEFR.
Results: A weak negative correlation (r=-0.136) was noted
between BMI and PEFR indicating that as BMI increased, PEFR
compromised. A linear correlation was observed between MAP
and PEFR.
Conclusion: The present study confirms a weak association of
BMI with PEFR, however strong association of MAP with PEFR
was noticed. |
