Background: Physiological health indicators, such as height, weight, and BMI (body mass index), show the general
growth of a population and are strongly associated with dietary patterns. Blood pressure and PEFR (Peak Expiratory Flow
Rate) measurements aid in determining the health state associated with the illness.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the physiological health indices and nutritional condition of Indian female
college students.
Methods: 222 randomly chosen female college students, ages 18 to 22, were evaluated for the study. Handgrip strength,
PEFR, respiration rate, body temperature, pulse rate, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, body mass index, weight, and
height were measured in each female. Clinical examinations for anaemia and vitamin A deficiency were performed on all
females. Dietary habits of these participants were also evaluated.
