Introduction: Anthropometric measurements are simple, easy, cheap, and feasible methods used to estimate body fat. Regular exercise is very important for healthy life. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. This study was aimed to correlate anthropometric parameters with lipid profile in healthy females performing regular exercise. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study correlation of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist hip ratio (WHC) with lipid profile in females performing regular exercise. Materials and Methods: BMI, WC, hip circumference, and WHC measured using standard protocol. 2 mL blood sample collected after overnight fasting. ipid profile study for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins was done using fully automated biochemical analyzer. Pearson’s correlation and Chi-square test used for statistical analysis. Results: BMI and WC showed statistically significant positive correlation with TC and LDL. WHR showed highly significant positive correlation with TC and LDL. Conclusion: BMI, WC, and WHR are showing significant positive correlation with TC and LDL. This underlies significance of regular exercise to maintain lipid profile in control range for good health.
In most developed countries, pregnancies are planned, complications are few and outcomes are generally favourable for both mother and infant. Adverse outcomes are far more frequent in the developing world. The most severe adverse outcome of pregnancy is the death of the mother or her offspring. The adverse pregnancy outcome means those pregnancies which terminate causing high risk to the mother and child's health and life. Worldwide the number of neonatal deaths decreased from 5.1 million in 1990 to 2.5 million in 2017. However, the decline in neonatal mortality from 2000 to 2017 has been slower (41%) than that in post-neonatal mortality (60%) globally. This survey was carried out in the Kudathini Village, which is the rural field practice area situated 16 kms from VIMS Ballari. Ballari is a district in the southern part of Karnataka. There are 19.2% of study subjects who got married below the age of 18 years and the remaining 80.7% were married after 18 years of age. The percentage of consanguinity in marriage is 5.6% and rest 94.3% are non-consanguineous marriage. The duration of married life of most of the study subjects' i.e, 48.6% belonged to 1-5 years duration followed by more than 5 years i.e, 28.2% and rest of 4.2% were married for less than a year.
Background: Physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle are contributory factors for increased risk of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and related complications, namely cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases, namely atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke are very common cardiovascular complications of uncontrolled hyperlipidemia. On the other hand, regular physical exercise decreases weight and body fat deposits. Regular exercise also increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and therefore decreases the risk of atherosclerosis. Different studies on the effects of acute one session of exercise on lipid profile have shown variable results. Our study aimed to study effects of 1 h intensive exercise on the lipid profile of females performing regular exercise for 1 year. The lipid profile study included total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density cholesterol low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), and HDL cholesterol. Aims and Objectives: (1) To compare blood levels of TC and TG before exercise and immediately after 1 h exercise (2) To compare blood levels of HDL, LDL, and VLDL before exercise and immediately after 1 h exercise. Materials and Methods: The study included 30 females in the age group of 20–50 years. Exercise included warming up for 10 min, followed by intense exercise for 40 min and then the last 10 min of relaxing exercise. Kickboxing exercise included upper limb and lower limb movements mimicking punching. Blood samples were collected from the antecubital vein with all aseptic precautions. Two blood samples were collected. First sample before the exercise and the second sample was immediately after 1 h of intense exercise. 2 mL blood was collected in a container without any anticoagulant. A lipid profile study for TC, TG, HDL, LDL, and VLDL was done using the automated biochemical analyzer. Results: In our study, the post exercise samples showed a significant increase in HDL levels and significantly decreased levels of TC, TG, LDL and VLDL. Conclusion: The effects of one session of intense exercise on lipid profile in females are beneficial as HDL levels are increased and TG, LDL and VLDL levels are decreased. These results are encouraging and useful for promoting females for regular exercise. This is very important for perimenopausal and postmenopausal females, as after menopause females are more prone for hypercholesterolemia due to a lack of estrogen.
The majority of maternal deaths are preventable: About three quarters of all maternal deaths are caused by postpartum hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders such as pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, infections, unsafe abortion and other delivery-related complications. In theory, all of the major causes of maternal death can be treated with effective and timely clinical interventions. In practice, however, even if a woman manages to access prenatal care and deliver in a health facility with a skilled birth attendant, poor quality of care can be life-threatening. A study to assess the pregnancy outcome was conducted in the rural field practice area, PHC Kudutini of VIMS Ballari, Karnataka, India. This study period was of one and half year, wherein interpersonal interview was conducted with the help of predesigned and pre tested questionnaire. All those pregnant women who registered themselves in the PHC during the first trimester were interviewed during the first visit. It includes various variables like socio demographic, obstetric, various health service utilization. Educational status among the Antenatal Mothers it is found that 22.3% of pregnant mothers and 4.8% of their husbands are illiterate. Total literates among the antenatal mothers and their husbands are 77.5% and 94.9% respectively. Among those who are literate, maximum attended till secondary schooling i.e, 41.9% among antenatal mothers and 41.2% among their husbands followed by primary schooling which was 23.4% and 25.1% among the antenatal mothers and their husbands respectively. Socio economic status of the Antenatal Mothers it was found out that maximum i.e, 40.5% belonged to class III, followed by 34.1% in class II, and then 16.4%, 8.1% and 0.1% belonged to class I, class IV and class V
Background: Measles is highly infectious, potentially fatal and mostly affects children. When rubella infection occurs during the rst trimester of pregnancy, it affects the embryo in-utero that can cause fetal death. Measles-Rubella vaccination coverage of more than 95% is required to achieve the Measles-Rubella elimination goal in the country. To nd out the MRObjective: vaccination status among 12-24 months children and to study the factors associated with non- vaccination in urban eld practice area of KBNIMS, Kalaburagi. Cross-sectional study was conducted by doing house to house survey in urban eld practice area ofMethodology: KBNIMS, Kalaburagi.. Socio-demographic details, MR immunization status and factors related to non-immunization were collected using pre- tested, semi-structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using Epi-Info 7 software and appropriate statistical tests were applied. Level of signicance was set at a P value of<0.05. Of the 436 children, 248(56.88%) were males and 188(43.12%) were females. The MRResults: immunization coverage was 87.61%. Statistically signicant association of immunization status was found with birth order of the child, socio- economic status, education status of the mother, place of delivery. Our ndings emphasize the importance of the mother'sConclusions: education, small family and health education through mass media regarding hazards of Measles and Rubella disease and importance of MR immunization.
