Abstract
Introduction: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of death in the world for both men and post-menopausal women. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is rising worldwide and it accounts for 17 per cent of the total mortality. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 80 healthy volunteers of Yoga school in Kurnool between the age of 20-60 yrs. Out of them 57 were men and 23 were women. The lipid profile was observed prior to initiation Yoga training and after 6 month, 1 year and 2 years of Yoga training. Statistical analysis was done by using ANOVA test. Results: The study was conducted in 80 trainees out of which 57 were men and 23 were women. Anthropometric Data Table 1 represents the antropometric data of subjects, which lies within normal limit. BMI of subjects is less than 25 kg/m2 and waist hip ratio is less than 0.8 in female and less than 0.9 in male. Persons having normal BMI and waist hip ratio were included in the study sample to avoid BMI and waist hip ratio as a confounding factor. The present piece of research included a study group of 80 individuals from a varied age and gender. As would be seen from table- 2, 60% belong to men and 40% belong to women. Conclusion: The present study had demonstrated a beneficial effect of Yoga on blood lipid profile. So, Yogic practices are definitely helpful in preventing lipid metabolic disorders and it can be used as a primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Again prolonged duration of yoga does not provide any ill health rather it maintains serum lipid profile within the normal range. So, Yoga leads to a better health of population leading to a healthy society.
