Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Raised BP is the biggest single contributing risk factor to global death (1) and to the global burden of disease. Hypertension is one of the most significant public health problem and a common lifestyle disease today in India. In 90% patients, the cause is idiopathic.1 Around 50% of the population remain undiagnosed. According to experts, Hypertension is likely to end up being an epidemic in the near future and 1/3 of the population would suffer from hypertension by the year to 2020. It is a cross-sectional blood pressure (BP) survey of volunteer adults (aged ≥ 18 years) who have not had their BPs measured for at least a year before the recruitment. Sitting blood pressure will be measured in triplicate according to standardized specified methods. Screenees whose BP readings are consistent with the current definition of hypertension will be provided with written dietary and lifestyle advice. Depending on local facilities they will also be provided with a referral to receive medications and/or follow up support. 210 volunteers were screened in current study .Out of 210,120 were males and 90 females. Out of 120 male 21 (17.5%) were hypertensive's as per WHO Definition (SBP >140 &DBP >90) Out of 21, 11 were between 30 to 40 age, 2 below 30 and 5 between 40 to 50 age and 3 above 50 age. In the remaining 99 males 9 were having High normal SBP (130-139) and 12 high DBP (85-89) Out of 120 male 42 (21 hypertensive's and 21 with High BP). Excluding hypertensives as per WHO norms: Normal in males: SBP: 113.7 ± 20.9 mm of Hg, DBP: 75 ± 16.6 mm of Hg, Females: SBP: 101.3 ± 24.9 mm of Hg DBP: 68.1 ± 16.3 mm of Hg
