Abstract:

Background: Obesity has become a leading global public health problem. It is one of the underlying causes of non-communicable chronic diseases. It is linked with non-communicable disorders including hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, coronary heart disease & stroke. It has become leading cause of morbidity and mortality in both developed & developing countries.

Aim: To study the effect of obesity on blood pressure, blood glucose and lipid profile in obese male & obese female.

Materials and Methods: 40 obese male subjects with age & sex matched 40 obese female subjects were chosen.

Results and Conclusion: Results of present study showed that obese females have high blood lipid levels compared to non-obese. Thereby proving that obese are prone to high blood lipids. This is due to changes in body fat distribution resulting in changes in body metabolism which in turn cause change in lipid levels.

Key words: Blood Lipids, Blood Glucose Levels, Blood Pressure, Obese Male, Obese Female.
