Abstract :

The Hemoglobin level and pattern of food intake is closely associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases. The cardiovascular diseases are primarily may be due to altered lipid profile which is depend on type and pattern of food intake. Association of vegetarian and non–vegetarian in obese women is controversial. Venous blood samples were collected from all the cases to analyze hemoglobin levels along with healthy controls.The hemoglobin (gm%) in vegetarian obese female (case group) was 9.8 � 0.63 while in control group is 12.5 � 0.32 respectively. The hemoglobin (gm%) in non–vegetarian obese female (case group) was 12.50 � 0.33 while in control group is 13.64 � 0.39 respectively. Thus hemoglobin level of non–vegetarianism were high in obese women than vegetarian. Due to some nutrients intake, hemoglobin level was better in non–vegetarians than vegetarians.
