ABSTRACT
The relationship of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors eg blood pressure,total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels was examined in urban (n = 220) and rural (n = 204) men aged ? 20 years amongst study population of urban and rural central India. Using ANCOVA we found significant difference (p< 0.01) for systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol between the urban and rural samples. The Pearson’s correlation coefficients suggest that BMI and waist circumference had significant relationships with most of the risk factors in both the populations. In multiple linear regression, BMI showed significant positive association with systolic and diastolic blood pressures (p< 0.01) and HDL cholesterol p(< 0.05) in the rural population . Comparing the association of abdominal obesity and waist circumference) with CHD risk factors, waist circumference better correlated with most of the risk factors.
