They showed higher proportion of variables related to metabolic syndrome compared with those offspring of healthy parents, and this proportion increased in case of DM parents plus metabolic syndrome. It was also evident that the pulmonary functions of obese offspring of DM parents was affected and more prone for restrictive lung disease. This study was framed to screen the offspring of DM for pulmonary function, evaluate the effect of Pranayama in pulmonary functions of offspring of DM and compare the influence of Pranayama in pulmonary functions of normal BMI offspring, overweight and obese offspring of DM parents. Method: Cross sectional study was performed with 30 individuals for each group after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the study group consists of Group I: Control group Normal BMI healthy individuals aged between 1825 years offspring of Non-diabetic healthy parents. Group II: Normal BMI healthy individuals aged between 1825 years offspring of DM. Group III: Overweight and obese individuals (BMI ≥ 25) aged between 1825 years offspring of DM. Pulmonary function Test was performed using EASY ON PC COMPUTERISED SPIROMETER Results: FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio, FEF (25% 75%) and PEFR did not show any significant increase or decrease when compared between the three groups before pranayama training. But, FEV1, FVC, FEF (25% 75%) and PEFR showed a marked significant increase in the Group II and Group III after 6 weeks training of pranayama. Conclusion: This study concludes that offspring of diabetic parents with normal BMI and those who are obese showed significant improvement in pulmonary functions by performing short term pranayama techniques for six weeks but there is no confirmed possibility that they would be prone to type II diabetes in near future.
