Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnea is described as monotonous collapse and reopening of upperairway during sleep which affect the ventilation. This Obstructive sleep apnea is common among obese andoverweight individuals. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine prevalence of the riskof obstructive sleep apnea in relation to obese and overweight collegiate students.METHODOLOGY: It is a non- experimental study with sample size of 100 which include obese andoverweight. 50 subjects with obese and 50 subjects with overweight are included and assessed for risk ofsleep apnea. OUTCOME MEASURES: Berlin Questionnaire RESULTS: Percentage of low risk wasabout 56, whereas the high risk Obstructive sleep apnea was 44% among overweight. Percentage of highrisk was 52 and low risk 48. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that the prevalence of Obstructive sleepapnea had a higher risk among obese when compare to the overweight individuals.

Abstract

Background: Index plus foot is defined as the first metatarsus being lengthier than the second whereasthe Index minus foot is a condition where the second metatarsus is extended than the first metatarsal. Theprevalence of index minus foot is higher among females, a study on balance with index minus and indexplus foot on normal individual females are lacking. Objective: The objective of the study is to determine theinfluence of index plus and index minus foot among collegiate girls Methodology: It is a non- experimentalstudy with sample size of 100 are taken and tested for both static and dynamic balance. Outcome Measures:Flamingo balance test and Star Excursion Balance Test. Results: The mean and standard deviation offlamingo balance test for index plus group is 9.24+2.77423 and the index minus is 15.04+1.6655. The meanvalue of star excursion balance test for both groups resulted with less noticeable difference. Conclusion:The study concludes that there is a difference in static balance, whereas there is no differences in dynamicbalance among collegiate girls.
