This study was aimed at comparing the variables like Body mass index (BMI), WaistHip ratio (WHR) and Lipid profile in normotensive and hypertensive males. The age group of the subjects were between 35-65 years. The objectives of doing this study are as follows:A) To measure the following parameters among the hypertensive and Normotensive males. To compare the values of the above mentioned parameters in hypertensive males with that of age matched normotensive males The present case-control study was carried out in 60 hypertensive males and 60 normotensive males. The subjects were selected from the general population of town area. Maximum males belonged to middle socioeconomic class. The subjects were between the age of 35-65 years. The mean duration of history of hypertension was 4.15 ± 1.30 years. All the subjects were free from cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular accidents, diabetes and any other illness or complications. CONCLUSION:1. There is increase in BMI in both groups suggestive of that obesity acts as a risk factor for hypertension. 2. There is increase in WHR in both groups suggestive of that central obesity in particular is associated with hypertension. 3. There is increase in Total cholesterol level, Triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol levels, Total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio in hypertension suggestive of dyslipidemia is also a risk factor associated with hypertension 4. Effective control of Hypertension both by Non pharmacological and pharmacological method will reduce the incidence of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal complications.5) Hence for the prevention of hypertension and cardiovascular complications, health education regarding lifestyle modifications have to be done in the population.
