BACKGROUND
The blood pressure and anthropometric measurements are important for evaluating the health of children, adolescents as well as adults.
AIM
The aim is to study the blood pressure and body dimensions and to find out the prevalence of overweight/obesity and hypertension among adults.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted of all the people belonging to the Punjabi community, residing in Roshanara area and Jaina building in Delhi, for the past 20 years and aged 18-50 years. The men were engaged in transport business and women were mainly housewives.
RESULTS
Mean values of all the measurements, that is, height, weight, upper arm circumference, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were higher among males as compared with females, except skinfold thicknesses. Body mass index (BMI) and fat percentage was found to be higher among females as compared with males. There was a significant positive correlation between BMI, fat percentage, and blood pressure both SBP as well as DBP. Odds ratio showed that overweight/obese subjects were more likely to have hypertension than those with normal BMI.
CONCLUSION
Prevalence of prehypertension among overweight/obese suggested an early clinical detection of prehypertension and intervention including life style modification, particularly weight management.
背景
血压和人体测量指标对于评估儿童、青少年以及成年人的健康状况很重要。
目的
旨在研究血压和身体尺寸，并找出成年人中超重/肥胖和高血压的患病率。
材料与方法
对居住在德里罗什纳拉地区和耆那教大楼、过去20年一直居住于此且年龄在18至50岁的旁遮普社区所有居民进行了一项横断面研究。男性从事运输业务，女性主要是家庭主妇。
结果
除皮褶厚度外，所有测量指标（即身高、体重、上臂围、脉搏率、收缩压[SBP]和舒张压[DBP]）的平均值男性均高于女性。发现女性的体重指数（BMI）和脂肪百分比高于男性。BMI、脂肪百分比与SBP和DBP血压之间均存在显著正相关。优势比表明，超重/肥胖受试者比BMI正常者更易患高血压。
结论
超重/肥胖者中高血压前期的患病率表明需对高血压前期进行早期临床检测并进行干预，包括改变生活方式，尤其是体重管理。
