Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The present study was undertaken to determine the incidence and intensity of hypertension in sedentary and labour population of Punjab. 1000 subjects were studied and they were divided into two groups i.e. group A (sedentary class) and group B (labour class). All the cases were in the age group between 35 to 55 years. On comparative evaluation, hypertension increased with age, sedentary life style, smoking, non vegetarian diet, BMI and male gender. In this study, it was found that the incidence of hypertension is higher in sedentary group of people as compared to labourers which is due to the fact that decreased physical activity is directly related to high blood pressure.
