Study of Blood Pressure Patterns Versus Serum Lipid Parameters in Obese Human SubjectsMuhammad S. Akhtar1, Syeda M. Ansar2, Naheed Abbas2, Nazir Ahmad11Department of Physiology, Department of Animal Reproduction, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad- 38040, Pakistan.2Rural Home Economics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad- 38040, Pakistan. A study was conducted to determine relationship of obesity with the blood pressure patterns and lipid parameters in preview of its unique local diet patterns. A total of 200 non-diabetic human subjects of either sex were included in the study. They were categorized on the basis of body mass index (BMI) as obese and non-obese. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups; hypertensive and normotensive. Fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL-and HDL-Cholesterols and total triglycerides) in each group was determined to compare the levels among various groups. BMI was calculated from height and weight, while blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer. Lipid profile was determined with Merck kits. Diet and related information was also collected from the patients directly. Muhammad S. Akhtar, Syeda M. Ansar, Naheed Abbas, Nazir Ahmad.
