CORRELATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE WITH BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) AND WAIST TO HIP RATIO (WHR) IN MIDDLE AGED MEN
Journal Title: Internet Journal of Medical Update - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Obesity and cardiovascular risks are closely associated. Hypertension is the most common and early complication of obesity. Obesity is measured with different parameters like Body Mass Index, Waist to Hip Ratio etc. In the present study we have tried to link parameters of obesity with hypertension. We have found that in hypertensive middle aged Indian males diastolic blood pressure showed a better correlation with Waist to Hip Ratio rather than with Body Mass Index.
