Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to correlate anthropometric indices with hemodynamic vascular changes in young adult obese patients.

Methods: It is case-control study, 140 patients were recruited. Which were divided into two group i.e., study group=70 and control group=70. Anthropometric measurement waist circumference (WC) and total body fat percentage (TBF%) of each patient is compared with right brachial pulse wave velocity (PWV) (dominant hand).

Results: Obese individuals had high levels of PWV as compared with non obese patients. Study suggested that cardiovascular parameter levels were significantly increased in obese patients, these same patients gradually progress towards the hypertensive condition.

Conclusions: Changes in cardiac function are common in obese patients, hence, there is need for periodical assessment of the cardiac function and anthropometric measurement and PWV as cardiac markers in obese patients proves to be an early and simple tool to give warning signal for the patients to take early preventive measures.
