Abstract:
Sedentary behavior has significant deleterious effects on human health. Sedentary behaviors associated with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders by decreasing lipoprotein lipase activities, impaired lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. This cross sectional study was done to see the association between fasting serum glucose and serum total cholesterol in sedentary male. This study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from Octy 2021 to June 2022. A total number of 100 subjects were included in this study. Among them, fifty (50) sedentary males were taken as study group (Group II) and fifty (50) active males were taken as control group (Group I). Age of both control and study group ranged from 25-60 years. Data were expressed as mean±SD and statistical significance of difference among the group was calculated by unpaired students' 't' test & Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Both of these biochemical parameters showed statistically significant difference in study group. The mean±SD of fasting serum glucose of control group (Group I) and study group (Group II) were 4.45±0.51 mmol/L and 5.91±0.60 mmol/L; and the mean±SD of serum total cholesterol level of control group (Group I) and study group (Group II) were 176.14±27.16 mg/dl and 252.58±18.97 mg/dl respectively. Fasting serum glucose and serum total cholesterol shows positive correlation in study group in comparison to control group. From this finding it can be concluded that there was significant correlation of fasting serum glucose and serum total cholesterol in sedentary males.
