Abstract:
This survey aimed to determine the prevalence of hypokinetic diseases among male and female university teachers. A total sample of 520 (254 male and 266 female) teachers from various colleges and universities in Chhattisgarh was selected using purposive sampling. The age range of the participants was 30 to 65 years. The study employed an ex post facto research design. Results showed variations in the prevalence of hypokinetic diseases between male and female subjects, with more females reporting high blood pressure (29.3%) compared to males (21%). Other hypokinetic problems showed lower prevalence in females compared to males. Notably, diabetes and high blood pressure were more prevalent in males, while high cholesterol and obesity were more prevalent in females.
