Abstract

Metabolic disorders are linked to obesity, which is a major global health concern. The purpose of this research was to look at the relationships between young individuals' waist-hip ratio, blood pressure, blood sugar, and “body mass index (BMI)”. Methods: A cross-sectional research involving 500 young individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 was conducted. BMI and WHR were two anthropometric measurements done. Additionally, blood pressure and blood sugar levels were assessed. Software for statistical analysis was used to study the data. Results: The mean WHR and BMI were 0.82 and 24.5 kg/m2, respectively. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 119.3± 10.5 mmHg and 75.2± 7.8 mmHg, respectively. The mean fasting blood sugar level was 87.5± 12.3 mg/dL. Blood pressure, WHR, and BMI all showed a positive connection (p <0.05). Blood sugar levels and BMI or WHR did not, however, significantly correlate (p > 0.05). Conclusion: According to recent research, raised blood pressure in young adults may be linked to increased BMI and WHR. Blood sugar levels and WHR or BMI did not, however, significantly correlate in this age range.
