Journal Title: JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH AND REVIEW - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
High blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, obesity and anemia are a major public health in India and prevalent all over the world. Hypertension exerts a significant public health burden on healthcare systems in India. Diabetes mellitus is a major clinical and public health problem. Diabetes is a complex and chronic illness requiring continuous medical care. Overweight and obesity are rapidly increasing in countries like India. Anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world. The present study evaluated the general health status with respect to blood pressure, blood glucose level, blood hemoglobin level and obesity of adults living in the community. The blood pressure, blood glucose level, obesity status and blood hemoglobin level parameters of 52 male subjects were evaluated and analyzed. The results suggest that the overall prevalence of hypertension in the study population was 69.2%. The mean systolic BP was 131.68 (±17.12) mm Hg while the mean DBP was 83.4 (±10.64) mm Hg. The blood glucose level >200mg/dl in the study population was 1.8% and blood glucose level >150 to <200 mg/dl was 5.5%. There were 22, 29 and 3 subjects with Body mass index (BMI) of <18, 18 to 25 and >25 respectively. The blood hemoglobin level between 10-12 mmHg in the study population was 5.5%, between >12-14 mmHg was in 50% and between >14 to 16 was 44.5% in the population. Early detection and treatment can reduce the incidence and complications of hypertension, diabetes and obesity. In India increased awareness, control and treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and anemia are required and are important for the reduction of further complications and associated burden of illness.
