CORRELATION STUDY OF BODY MASS INDEX WITH INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE IN MALWA REGION OF MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the connection among BMI and chose visual boundaries like IOP. Methods: Three hundred stout subjects and 200 age- and sex-matched sound subjects were signed up for this planned cross-sectional review. Ophthalmological assessments including intraocular pressure (IOP) and refractive mistake were performed regarding each matter. Visual assessment included estimation of refractive mistake for far off vision with Snellen’s outlines or ignorant E diagram at 6 m in a sufficiently bright room Height and weight of all subjects were recorded and weight list (BMI) was determined. Results: It was observed that the IOP of the overweight gathering was fundamentally higher (13.56±3.12 mm Hg) than that of the typical weight bunch (11.86±2.12 mm Hg) p<0.01. Conclusion: It was observed that BMI firmly corresponded with expanded IOP. Likewise, the level of corpulence was viewed as a critical variable; in this way, the connection between these visual boundaries and the seriousness of stoutness ought to be additionally explored.
