Abstract
The present study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Indore (M.P.). It is a type of crosssectional study. Study was performed after taking permission from the Ethics and Scientific Review Committee M.G.M. Medical College M.Y. Hospital, Indore and permission letter from the Head of Department of Physiology MGM Medical College, Indore and from respective school authorities. The period of study was from March 2015 to February 2016. We had selected 100 school bus drivers of age group 2050 years. Conclusion: With increase in BMI auditory reaction time also increases but the data obtained were statistically not significant (p>0.05). So from above findings we can conclude that shorter auditory reaction time in drivers makes important sense for safe driving and it can prevent road traffic accidents as well. Study Design: Crosssectional Study.
Keywords: Auditory Reaction Time; High & Low Pitch; BMI & Bus Drivers.
