A community based cross sectional study on the patterns of blood pressures and aerobic capacity among young adult smokers
Keywords:
smokers, aerobic capacity, blood pressure, heart rateAbstract
Introduction : India is home to about 12% of the world’s smokers. More than 1 million people die every year due to tobacco related illnesses. smokers have tendencies to be less physically active than nonsmokers . We hypotheses that there was a significant relation between smoking and decrease in cardiovascular fitness. The purpose of this study was to examine the chronic effects of smoking on cardiovascular fitness and Blood pressure in young and adult smokers. Methods: This was a community based cross sectional study conducted in a span of 6 months with prior consent. 100 Subjects chosen for the study (50 smokers & 50 non-smokers) involving both the genders , aged 18 years to 25 years and all classes of socio economic strata. 100 male participant were recruited & divided into two groups. BP & Heart rate (HR) were non-invasively measured in young non-smoking and smoking subjects at rest, during the accomplishment of a submaximal exercise test and recovery period. Smoking status of smokers was analyzed by three parameters, i.e., years of smoking, number of cigarettes smoke per day, and pack year. Results: There was no significant difference between both groups regarding to age, weight and height.
