Abstract -A case control study to assess the factors influencing obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension among clients attending master health check-up at Apollo hospitals, Chennai. The objectives of the study were, to identify the demographic risk factors of obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension among cases and controls, to identify the bio physiological risk factors of obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension among cases and controls, to identify the personal risk factors of obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension among cases and controls. . Case control research design was used in the study. Mac Mohan suggested the web of causation model for disease was used as the conceptual framework for the study. The main study was done among 300 patients. . The samples were selected using purposive sampling technique. The tool used for data collection was a structured interview schedule developed by the investigator.Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Most of the clients among cases in obesity group were females (68%), whereas in impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension group were males (70%, 72%) respectively. The study findings depicted that, the females were obese than males, which indicates that females are more prone to get cardiovascular diseases than males due to the contributory factors of obesity. Baseline variables like gender, nature of work, area of residence were statistically associated with obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension the findings of the study shows that, the influencing factors of obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension among cases were higher than those of the controls. Personal risk factors have major role in developing obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension. However, a mass awareness programme is needed to educate the public to adopt healthy life style in day today life in order to prevent the occurrence of these co morbidities and its complications. Key words: obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension; stroke ; risk factors; structured interview schedule
