Summary background: Recent studies have shown evidence of relationship between overweight and obesity with skeletal abnormalities.especially knee angular changes.The study is aimed to reveal relationship of increase BMI in females age 21-50yrs and musculoskeletal abnormalities in lower limb.
Methods: A survey based on obervational study is performed on 153 females (with BMI >25kg/m2 )at Dr.ulhas patil college of physiotherapy jalgaon. informed consent and data was evaluated and BMI was calculated by dividing weight by height square, several non radiographic methods including Q angle measured by universal gonieometer,distance between 2 knees (ICD) and, intermalleolar distance(IMD) was measured by measuring tape.
Results :In following study prevalence of lower limb postural changes in overweight and obese females. (84.33%)females are overweight and (15.69%)are obese. There was significant and adverse correleation of BMI with Q angle.The mean BMI of females age 21to35yrs is 26.02±2.43 and age 36 to 50yrs is 30.43±1.55 respectively.also Q angle of age 21 to35yrs of right side is 19.76±2.30 and of left side 19.38±2.39 whereas Q angle of age 36 to50 yrs of right side 19.76±2.30 and left side 22.87±2.69 (pvalue 0.000). also there is strong correleation with IMD.
Conclusion : There is strong and significant relationship between BMI and Q angle ,IMD. Prevalence of knee deformalities in obese females is higher and predictable especially in higher age group. There is inverse correleation of BMI with knock knees(genu valgum ) and no
