Abstract

Background: Sedentary life has emerged as a risk factor for various negative health. Abdominal obesity plays a major role in the pathogenesis of several metabolic and cardiovascular medical problems. The myocardial blood flow can be easily measured by knowing hemodynamic predictors the heart rate and systolic blood pressure which correlate better with the myocardial oxygen consumption. Method: In this cross sectional study 70 sedentary and 70 non-sedentary (30-40 years) age matched male workers were selected. Their waist circumference, waist hip ratio, heart rate and systolic blood pressure were measured at rest. The rate pressure product was calculated to assess the myocardial blood flow.
