Body Mass Index Profile and Its Co-Relation in Patients of Coronary Heart Disease
Keywords:
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), Body Mass Index (BMI), Obesity, Angina Pectoris, WeightAbstract
The antecedent relative weight and weight gain after the age of 25 years to be strongly related to risk of angina pectoris in men. Obesity is an independent risk factor for genesis of coronary heart disease so it was planned to perform the present study to correlate the body mass index with coronary heart disease and data was taken from wards of SRG Hospital Jhalawar as material for the study. The routine blood and urine examinations with other clinical examinations were done and noted on pre-design Performa. Patients having other disease except CHD were excluded for the present study. The BMI of every patient was calculated and correlated with coronary heart disease. The result showed that >58% of the patients of coronary heart disease were having obesity. There was linear increase in calorie intake and significant increase in serum cholesterol levels with increase in BMI from lean to obese. The present study proved that the patients of CHD with obesity were above >45 years of age.[Subhash J NJIRM 2017; 8(3):78-80]
