Assessment of Blood Pressure and Glycated Hemoglobin in Obese and Non-obese Male.

Abstract

Obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing and treatable multifactorial, neurobehavioral disease and leads to adverse effects on health. The leading basis of obesity is long term energy inequality between consumed calories and expended calories. Excess adiposity contributes to alterations in vascular function and blood pressure regulation, increasing the likelihood of developing hypertension. The objective of this study was to assess the blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin in obese and non-obese male. This cross-sectional type of observational study was carried out in the Department of Physiology in co-operation with the outpatient Department of Medicine units of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh to assess the blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin in obese and non-obese male from January 2024 to December 2024. A total number of 200 male subjects were included in this study among them 100 were adult obese male and 100 were healthy non obese males. The data was analyzed using SPSS software, version 29.0. To see the significant differences between groups, we used the unpaired Students 't' test and shared results as mean ±SD. Laboratory analysis of serum glycated hemoglobin was done. The mean±SD of glycated hemoglobin of adult non obese group and adult obese group were 5.44±0.579 and 6.64±0.505% respectively. In adult obese group, glycated hemoglobin was increased in comparison to non obese adult group. In this study, glycated hemoglobin was statistically highly significant (p<0.001) in study group in comparison to control group. Routine monitoring of glycated hemoglobin is recommended to prevent obesity related complications to promote healthy life.
