IS THERE ANY CORRELATION BETWEEN OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEPAPNOEA AND BODY MASS INDEX IN HYPERTENSIVE SUBJECT
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
To know the any correlation in obstructive sleep apnea and body mass index in hypertensive Subjects. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as a major health burden with a strong focus on the associated cardiovascular risk. OSA is a considered as secondary hypertension. Its episodes produce surges in systolic and diastolic pressure that keep mean blood pressure levels elevated at night. In many patients, blood pressure remains elevated during the daytime, when breathing is normal. This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 100 hypertensive subjects both male and female to evaluate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnoea and body mass index in hypertensive subjects in Department of Physiology, Department of Pulmonary Medicine and department of Medicine, at Era's Lucknow Medical College & Hospital, Era University, Lucknow. In these 100 subjects there are underweight (n=5) high risk 1 and low risk 4, Normal (n=52) high risk 18 and low risk 34 Overweight (n=33) high risk 19 and low risk 14 and Obese (n=10) high risk 4 and low risk 6. Average BMI in high risk subjects (n=42) is 25.49±3.88 and in low risk subjects (24.14±5.02) with pvalve0.150 (p>0.05). Early identification of BMI and OSA in hypertensive's subject management may reduce the development of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive subjects
