According to reports, obesity is linked to a range of cardiovascular ailments. According to some researchers, obesity may increase the prevalence of high blood pressure in young adults. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the Filaria and General Hospital, Savar Bangladesh from May to July 2023 to compare the pulse rate and blood pressure between young obese and non-obesity people. Participants who were obese were aged (mean±SD) 41.76±4.35 (range, 32-54) and those who were not obese were aged 36.43±3.12 (range, 31-52) years. In the obese group, there were 26 (65%) males and 14 (35% females), compared to 24 (60%) males and 16 (40%) females in the non-obese group. The BMI (mean±SD) of the participants who were obese was 27.8±1.56 (range 18-31.3) Kg/m2, while the BMI of the participants who were not obese was 19.9±1.03 (range 16.7-28.0) Kg/m2. The resting pulse rate was higher significantly in obese compared to non-obese participants. The SBP was higher significantly in obese compared to non-obese participants along with same trend in result during DBP measurement. The obese subjects' resting pulse rates were higher than those of the non-obese ones.
