INFLUENCE OF AERATED DRINKS ON THE BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART RATE OF YOUNG ADULTS - Vol.11(5) - M P Innovare Academic Sciences Pvt Ltd 2019 - 68-70p.
Objective:
To study the relationship of aerated drink (soft drink) consumption on the blood pressure and heart rate of student populatio
n.
Method
s:
50 medical students (
25 male and 25 female)
volunteered to participate in this study.
The blood pressure and heart rate of the student
was taken and recorded as initial blood pressure (pre-
test, control). The student was then given 25
0 ml
of
aerated drink
. After 2
0 min
* the blood
pressure
(BP)
and heart rate of the student was taken once again (post-
test) and the reading was recorded.
Result
s:
The statistical analysis suggest that, there was 0.88±0.10 mm/Hg increase in the mean arterial pressure, subsequent to the consumption of
the aerated drink in
the
male student population and 2.85±0.18 mm/Hg in the
female student population. Similarly, 0.76±0.03 beats/minute
increase
in the
heart rate in male population and 1.2±0.05 beats/minute was observed
in female population.
Conclusio
n
:
In our study
aerated drink
have not shown a significant effect on
mean arterial pressure
and
heart rate in both males and females.
Chronic consumption may have the effect on mean arterial pressure
and
heart rate but random consumpti
on may not have significant effect
