A cross-sectional study was conducted among a total of 598 men and women to investigate age and sex variations in the prevelence of overweight, obesity and hypertension among adult (>18 years) residents of Dearah, Hooghly District, West Bengal. Height, weight and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure mesurements were made on each subject. Prevelence of overweight was significantly higher among women. There existed significant age-group differences among men in the frequency of overweight and obese individuals. The overall (both sexes combined) prevelence of hypertension was 25.9%. There was significant age-group difference in the prevelence of hypertension. There was a consistent trend in increasing rates of hypertension as well as mean BMI, SBP, DBP and mean arterial pressure (MAP) with increasing age.
在西孟加拉邦胡格利区迪拉赫的成年(>18岁)居民中,对总共598名男性和女性进行了一项横断面研究,以调查超重、肥胖和高血压患病率的年龄和性别差异。对每个受试者进行了身高、体重以及收缩压(SBP)和舒张压(DBP)测量。女性超重患病率显著更高。男性中超重和肥胖个体的频率在年龄组之间存在显著差异。高血压的总体(男女合计)患病率为25.9%。高血压患病率在年龄组之间存在显著差异。随着年龄增长,高血压以及平均体重指数(BMI)、收缩压、舒张压和平均动脉压(MAP)的增长率呈一致上升趋势。
