dc.description.abstractObjective: To study the cardiovascular risk factors exposed to tobacco chewing and compare these findings with that of smokers and control subjects. Methods: This study was conducted at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh. 180 subjects were included in this study. The subjects were divided in three groups. Group I (Tobacco chewers-chewed nicotine), Group II (Smokers-smoked nicotine) and Group III (control subjects). Each group consists of 60 subjects. Various anthropometric and cardiovascular parameters were recorded and compared among these three groups. Results: Significant difference was found for weight and body mass index (p<0.001) between smokers and control subjects. When compared to control subjects, tobacco chewers had significantly higher pulse rate (p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (p<0.011), diastolic blood pressure (p<0.004) and mean arterial pressure (p<0.001) but no significant difference was found between tobacco chewers and smokers.en_US
