Objective: To study the relation between serum glucose and BMI in patients visiting opd belonging to different lifestyles. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Medicine Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from July 2017 to December 2017. Total 166 patients either male or female having age from 18 years to 24 years were selected. Serum blood glucose was measured and BMI was calculated. Results: Minimum age of patients was 17 years and maximum age was 23 years. Mean age of the patients was 19.17 ± 1.5 years, mean BMI was 24.65 ± 6.196 and mean serum glucose level was 126.23 ± 25.56mg/dl. The Pearson correlation test showed that the level of level of serum glucose increased with increasing BMI. This positive correlation was statistically significant (r= 0.625, P= 0.000). Conclusion: Findings of current study showed a positive correlation between BMI and serum glucose levels. Significant different between mean serum glucose levels and different age groups was detected. Results of this study also showed that there is insignificant difference between serum glucose levels of male and female patients.
