Abstract EN
Stress has many biological effects on human daily life.
In the present study, dietary protein intake was correlated with the investigated stress levels of nurses and housewives of the targeted urban population.
Age group ranged from 30 to 45 years and both the groups belonged to middle socioeconomic status.
After calculations of environmental, psychological and physiological stresses, it was observed that the levels of stress in housewives were significantly higher than those of nurses.
Recommended dietary allowances, RDA and actual protein intakes, API were also compared in both the groups.
The found protein intake was less in housewives as compared to that of nurses.
