| dc.description.abstract | An understanding of distribution and redistribution of fat compartment is necessary in order to study the obesity and under-nutrition i.e nutritional status. The present study was planned to assess the nutrition status and body composition of normal as well as diseased population of district Udham Singh Nagar and Nainital of Uttarakhand state. Total four hundred subjects of age group 30-70 years were selected, out of which 100 (33 male, 67 female) were normal, 100 (58 male, 42 female) were diabetics, 100 (46 male, 54 female) were hypertensive and 100 (33male, 67 female) were those having both diabetes and hypertension. Nutritional status was measured using anthropometry and body composition was measured by anthropometry and by bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Interview was conducted to collect information about general profile, dietary, physical activity and life style patterns of adult population. Results revealed that maximum percentage of diseased population were in the higher age group of 50-59 yrs than normal population in both sexes. Family size of most of the families was found to be medium followed by small and large family size. Source of income of most of the population among normal and diseased group is service. Diseased population groups are having family history of diseases i.e. either diabetes or hypertension or both. Physical activity pattern shows that maximum hours spent for occupational work outside home and minimum hours for leisure time are by normal than diseased population. Normal population is having excellent life style pattern whereas population having diseases are in good, fair and poor life style patterns. Anthropometric data revealed that male population is having more weight i.e. 64.9±1.7 Kg to 68.3± 9.82 Kg than female population (56.5± 10.1Kg to 61.7±9.03Kg) among all population groups. Lower MUAC values in normal whereas higher MUAC values in diseased population groups in both sexes have been observed. On the basis of BMI classification it is found that large number of diseased populations is overweight and obese than normal. Body composition assessed by using BIA indicated that fat content in percentage representing the lowest range in normal male population (24.7±9.9 %) to highest range (30.4±14.7%) in dual diseased male population while in case of female the lowest range (30.0±6.7%) is present in normal population and highest range (42.3±11.5%) is present in hypertensive group. The findings stated that higher fat content is present in diseased population and more fat content in females than males, among both sexes. Fat free mass (FFM) content in males ranged from 44.1±7.5Kg to 50.18±8.1Kg and percent FFM from 69.5±13.0 to 75.3±9.8. While in females FFM (Kg) and FFM (%) ranged from 34.3±7.9Kg to 38.9±6.9Kg and 56.0±17.5 to 69.4±11.9% respectively. Statistically significant (p<0.05) difference has been observed among normal to diabetic and dual diseased and also between hypertensive and dual diseased population groups for fat free mass content. It is found that blood pressure is positively correlated with MUAC, skinfold measurements, sugar and fat per cent while negatively correlated with physical activity, fat free mass and total body water at p<0.05.similarly blood sugar level is positively associated with blood pressure, leisure time and fat per cent and negatively correlated with physical workout, fat free mass and total body water. | en_US |
