ANTHROPOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SUBJECTS OF HYPERTENSION IN SUBHIMALAYAN REGION
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In India, Hypertension (HT) has emerged as a leading risk factor for mortality. The burden of hypertension in India is expected to almost double from 118ô€€€million in 2000 to 213.5 million by 2025. OBJECTIVE: Anthropometric analysis of the Sub-Himalayan population suffering from HT with calculation of the cut-off point to predict HT. METHODOLOGY: Cross sectional study was carried out on 63 healthy and 51 hypertensives. RESULTS: The waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) cut-off point to predict hypertension was 2 2 found to be 93.5cm, 0.54 and 24.58kg/m in men and 88.5cm, 0.59 and 25.3kg/m in females respectively. CONCLUSION: 2 BMI is considered as the best indicator to predict HT in males with a cut-off point of 24.58kg/m and in females, WHtR was found to be the best indicator to predict HT with a cut-off point of 0.59.
