Background: In developed countries with advanced healthcare systems collect blood equivalent to 5 to 10% of their population. In India, very less percentages of its population donating blood. Therefore, the aims of our study was to study the anthropometric parameter and lipid profile in blood donors and rule out the body weight and BMI in psyche of blood donation. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 165 healthy male blood donors. Physical parameters of donors were measured using standard protocol. After 350 ml of blood donation, 5 ml blood was collected in plain vial, total Cholesterol, TG, HDL, LDL, were estimated by reagent kit method. Results: Out of 165 subjects, 36% lies in the range of 50-60 kg whereas remaining 64% subjects were with weight of 60 to 70 kg. According to Body Mass Index only 38% have a BMI between 18.5 and 22.9 kg/m2 and remaining 62% subjects have BMI >24 kg/m2 Conclusion: Female health should be taken into account to improve it. Strict screening should be done to check the general health status of the donors. We also concluded that BMI as well as waist circumference does not significantly relate with dyslipidemia.Downloads
