Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Obesity is one of the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) which includes hypertension. Essential Hypertension itself is a risk factor for CVD. Waist circumference (W.C.), waist to hip (W/H) ratio are more sensitive indicator than body mass index (BMI) in determining the risk of developing essential hypertension in young population in our vicinity which in turn increases the risk of CVD. We are determining what indicator is most sensitive risk factor for hypertension in young population coming to tertiary care centre in our vicinity.
