young adult females' age group of 18-25 years. The study group consisted of 60 obese adult female with BMI>30 kg/mt2 and the control group consisted of 60 non-obese adult female with BMI 18.5-25 kg/mt2. Physical parameters studied were a) Body mass index (BMI) and b) Waist-hip ratio. The cardiovascular parameters measured were a) Heart Rate b) Blood Pressure c) PR interval and d) QTc interval in both the groups. The data obtained was analyzed by student 'z' test and p<0.05 was considered as level of significance in all parameters. Results show that obese adult female's BMI and wait hip ratio was found significantly high as compared to non-obese adult females. In cardiovascular parameters increase in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure was found insignificant in study group as compared non-obese adult females (p>0.05) while systolic blood pressure was significantly elevated in study group (p<0.001). ECG findings reveal that obese adult females have significantly increased both PR and QTc interval (p< 0.001) as compared to controls group. These results are suggestive of the cardiovascular risk to the obese adult females.
