Abstract
Context: Left ventricular structure and mass is related to body composition. Fat mass as well as fat free mass are known to affect the left ventricular architecture. Aims: Our goal was to evaluate the relatio nship between body composition and left ventricular morphology in young healthy non - obese males and females. Settings and Design: This was the cross sectional study done on 100 (51 male & 49 female) physical education college students. Methods and Materi al s : Left ventricular structure was analyzed by 2 - D and M - mode echocardiography. Body composition was analyzed using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Statistical Analysis Used : Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis between body composition parameters and left ventricular structure was done using SPSS16 software. Results: In males, end systolic left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWs) sho wed significant correlation with weight (r=0.348, p<0.05), BMI (r=0.293, p<0.05), BSA (r=0.314, p<0.05) and fat
