Background:The present study was conducted for evaluating pain perception in young adult males with normal and increased BMI. Materials & methods:For the study, 50 young individuals between the ages of 12 and 25 who were underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese were chosen as participants. Every subject's reaction to a pain stimulus was noted and monitored. After answering questions about their age, sex, education, health, and use of drugs (if any), the individuals participated in a brief interview after completing questionnaires about their performance and frequency of exercise. To prevent carry-over effects, pressure pain was administered initially, and then, in a subsequent session, cold pressor pain procedures were administered after a 10-minute rest time. Three testing orders were conceivable, and subjects were allocated at random to each one. The ratio of the subject's weight (kg) to their height (m2) squared was used to compute their BMI (kg/m2). Results:The threshold for cold pressor pain was found to vary according to BMI, with underweight subjects exhibiting the highest threshold (less pain) and obese subjects exhibiting the lowest threshold (higher pain). However, the tolerance to cold pressor pain did not exhibit statistically significant variation, despite the fact that underweight subjects had the lowest tolerance among the test groups. Conclusion:High BMI is related to decreased pain threshold among young population.
