st Volume in 1 second (FEV ), Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) are reliable pulmonary function tests to diagnose any 1 respiratory disorder. In this study, FVC, FEV , PEFR of medical students were assessed to find their relationship with Body 1 Mass Index (BMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A institution based cross-sectional observational study was done in Dept. of Physiology, Jorhat Medical College including the undergraduate medical students. Sample size was calculated as 160 using EpiTools Software. Height in centimeters, weight in kilograms and digital spirometry of 160 students were recorded. In case of more than two variables, P values were calculated using Anova Test and p value < 0.05 was considered significant. FVC, FEV , PEFR all were decreased in overweight and obese students compared to RESULTS: 1 normal weight students and our observation was statistically significant in case of FEV and PEFR by Anova test (p value: 1 0.0335 and 0.0428 respectively. Changing of life style that includes performing regular physical CONCLUSION: exercises, yoga, meditation, sticking to a routine time table for sports, study and sleeping hours and regular health check up in the form of Height, Weight, Spirometry could be beneficial for the students to prevent obesity related pulmonary ailments.
