Secondly, I would also like to thank my family and friends who helped
me a lot in understanding the project within the limited time frame.
INTRODUCTION
The main objectives behind conducting this physiological Field Survey are:
The various important physiological parameters that were measured are – HEIGHT,
WEIGHT, BLOOD PRESSURE(BP), HEART RATE(HR), RESPIRATORY RATE(RR), PULSE
RATE(PR) and BLOOD Hb CONCENTRATION.
While measuring the above parameters on the subjects, the following materials and
methods are used:
1. Measurement of Weight :
Description of the Apparatus: The term human body weight is used colloquially
and in the biological and medical sciences refer to a person’s mass or weight. Body
weight is measured in kg, a measure of mass, throughout the world. So body
weight is the measurement of weight without items located on the person.
Practically though, the body weight may be measured with clothes on, but without
shoes or heavy accessories such as mobile phones and wallets and using manual
or digital weighing scales.
Method: For the measuring purpose- each subject was asked to stand on the
platform of the weighing scales with their shoes and many heavy accessories kept
aside. While standing still for 3 seconds, the weight of the subject was recorded in
the “ Report Sheet”.
2. Measurement of Height:
Method: At the very fast, each subject was instructed to stand erect over a linear-
flat ground. Then the vertical rod of the anthropometric scale was brought just
behind the back of the subject, with its one end touching the ground. Then the
measuring calliper as setup just over the weight of head, just touching the roof of
the skull of the subject and finally the height was recorded in the “Report Sheet”.
Description of the parameter: The respiratory rate also known as ventilation rate,
ventilation frequency (Vf), respiration frequency (Rf). Pulmonary ventilation rate
or breathing frequency, is the rate ( frequency) of ventilation, that is, the number
of breaths inhalation- exhalation cycles taken within a set amount of time (
typically 60 sec). A normal respiratory rate is termed eupnea, an increased
respiratory rate is termed trachypnea and a lower – than- normal respiratory rate
is termed as bradynea. Breathing is respiration.
Method of measurement: The respiration rate was measured when the person was
at rest and involved counting the number of breaths for1 min. By counting how
many times the chest rises or depresses. Respiration rates may increase with fever,
illness or other medical conditions. During checking respiration, it was reviewed
whether the person has any difficulty breathing.
Table for avg resting respiratory rates by age are (Table no. 2)
Description of the parameters: Heart rate, or heart pulse, is the speed the
heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per unit of time
typically beats per minute (bpm). The heart rate can vary according to the body’s
physical needs, including the need to absorb oxygen and excrete carbondioxide.
Activities that can provoke change include physical exercise, sleep, illness,
ingesting and drugs. The normal resting adult heart rate ranges from 60-100 bpm.
Trachycardia is a fast heart rate defined as above 100 bpm at rest. Bradycardia is a
slow heart rate, defined as below 60 bpm at rest.
Measurement method: Heart rate is measured by finding the pulse rate of the
heart. The pulse rate can be found at any point on the body where the artery’s
pulsation to the surface by pressuring it with the index and middle fingers; often it
is compressed against an underlying structure like bone. The thumb not be used
for measuring another person’s heart rate, as it strong pulse may interfere with
the correct perception of the target pulse. The radial artery is the easiest to use
check the heart rate are carotid arteries. The heart rate can also be measured at
the chest, which can be felt with one’s hand or fingers. It is also possible to
auscultate the heart using a stethoscope.
The height weight are the determinants of the physical fitness of a particular
individuals : While the hemogram (Hb) level of that particular individual supplies
important information about the visceral physiological state rate , heart rate( or
pulse rate ) and blood .
On the other hand the respiratory rate, and the pulse rate are the determinants
functioning capability and activity state of the lungs and heart respectively. Thus
combined together, the inspection of the mentioned physiological parameters of
a particular individual (or individuals of the parameter community, cast, race,
religion) not only gives the current physiological conditions of that individual but
also can predict the possibilities of the some definite or indefinite causes.

RESULT ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
The adult females of Mohurgong tea estate near Salbari are the tea garden workers,
involved in ploughing and packaging of tea. The average height of the subjects are 147.5
cm. Out of 10 subjects 5 subjects have bodyweight less or equal 45 which is too low.
The pulse rate and respiratory rate shows normal values as per the ICMR specifications.
So, the female workers are not suffering from any cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
The average systolic and diastolic blood pressure is 130 mmHg +12.50 which is normal
and 76.6 mmHg+8.02 which is also found to be normal.
The haemoglobin concentration of the females are 7.47 gm/dl +2.5 which is lower than
standard value.
Above observations shows that females are having less body, weight normal diastolic
pressure and poor haemoglobin level that may be due to low iron containing diet. The
subject need to improve working capacity and productivity in the tea garden. Low cost
protein diet and green leafy vegetables containing iron can improve the physical health
of the subjects. The poor economic condition is the main reason behind low haemoglobin.
CONCLUSION
After calculating the data and observing the data and observing the result,it was
concluded that:
The females of Mohorgong Tea Estate have a average body height(based on the
ICMR vales).
They have an average body weight.
Data obtained from the calculation of pulse rate, blood pressure, all shows normal
vales. But the respiratory rate shows little high value.
Further more values obtained from the measurement of blood, hamoeglobin
indicate normal value. Out of 10 workers 5 of them have normal Hb level. Rest of
them can improve with a diet containing iron and protein along with vitamins.
