“…[ 8 ] Hypertension is the cause of 45% of myocardial infarction, 51% of stroke deaths, and 9.5 million deaths annually, and it is predicted that hypertension will account for one-fourth of all deaths by 2030. [ 9 10 ] The annual cost of hypertension in the US is $ 46 billion, including health-care costs, drugs for treatment, and working days lost. [ 11 12 13 ] Like most chronic diseases, hypertension is closely associated with lifestyle, mental health, and quality of life of patients, and if it is not controlled on-time and appropriately, it will cause various diseases, significant disabilities, reduction of productivity, and ultimately reduction of the quality of people's lives.…”

INTRODUCTION: Hypertension is one of the most critical factors for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, arrhythmias, heart failure, and renal disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life and its related factors in hypertensive patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was descriptive research. The sampling method was simple random, i.e., 137 were selected among the ten health centers of the list of the existing patients by simple random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (Short Form-26). After collecting the questionnaires, the data analysis was carried out using SPSS software and using statistical methods (e.g., number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and MANOVA tests). RESULTS: The results showed that the mean score for the physical domain (52.82), the psychological domain (50.26), the social domain (48.33), the environmental domain (46.1), and the total quality of life (49.60). Among the demographic variables, the education level variable ( P =0.000), job ( P = 0.013), and the duration of hypertension ( P = 0.039) were significantly correlated with the quality of life of patients. The “levels of education” variables are significantly correlated with the physical domain ( P = 0.000), psychological domain ( P = 0.000), social domain ( P = 0.000), and environmental domain ( P = 0.000) of the quality of life. The “job status” variable is only significantly correlated with the social domain of the quality of life ( P = 0.005). The “duration of hypertension” variable is only significantly associated with the physical domain of the quality of life ( P = 0.011). CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study show that demographic variables such as educational level, occupation, and duration of hypertension have a significant relationship with the quality of life domains of hypertensive patients. It is recommended that the principled education of patients is a step toward the improvement of the quality of life of patients.

BackgroundThe relevance of measures of general and central adiposity for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks in populations of European descent is well established. However, it is less well characterised in South Asian populations, who characteristically manifest larger waist circumferences (WC) for equivalent body mass index (BMI). This systematic review and meta-analysis provide an overview of the literature on the association of different anthropometric measures with CVD risk among South Asians.MethodologyMEDLINE and Embase were searched from 1990 to the present for studies in South Asian populations investigating associations of two or more adiposity measures with CVD. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted on the associations of BMI, WC and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with blood pressure, hypertension and CVD. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.ResultsTitles and abstracts were screened for 7327 studies, yielding 147 full-text reviews. The final sample (n=30) included 2 prospective, 5 case-control and 23 cross-sectional studies. Studies reported generally higher risks of hypertension and CVD at higher adiposity levels. The pooled mean difference in systolic blood pressure (SBP) per 5 kg/m2higher BMI was 3 mmHg (2.90 (95% CI 1.30 to 4.50)) and 6 mmHg (6.31 (95% CI 4.81 to 7.81) per 13 cm larger WC. The odds ratio (OR) of hypertension per 5 kg/m2higher BMI was 1.33 (95% CI 1.18 to 1.51), 1.45 (95% CI 1.05 to 1.98) per 13 cm larger WC and 1.22 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.41) per 0.1-unit larger WHR. Pooled risk of CVD for BMI-defined overweight versus healthy-weight was 1.65 (95% CI 1.55 to 1.75) and 1.48 (95% CI 1.21 to 1.80) and 2.51 (95% CI 0.94 to 6.69) for normal versus large WC and WHR, respectively. Study quality was average with significant heterogeneity.ConclusionsMeasures of both general and central adiposity had similar, strong positive associations with the risk of CVD in South Asians. Larger prospective studies are required to clarify which measures of body composition are more informative for targeted CVD primary prevention in this population.

“…Individual who were at risk of NWCO through the measure of WC and WHtR have higher mean of SBP and DBP. It has already been reported that the Sunni Muslim population has a high prevalence of hypertension (Tselha et al, 2019). A nationwide study among Chinese population suggested that individuals with NWO had significantly higher cardio-metabolic risk and had OR 1.525; 95% CI, 1.333-fold for hypertension based on Framingham risk score (Jia et al, 2018).…”

In practice, individuals who are found normal through various adiposity indicators are screened out from the risk of obesity and subsequently from other cardiometabolic syndromes like hypertension. Against this backdrop, this study aims to examine the prevalence of hypertension among individuals having normal-weight obesity (NWO) and normal-weight central obesity (NWCO). In the present study, Cross-sectional data of 214 participants (100 males and 114 females) were collected using purposive sampling. Adiposity indices like body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (PBF), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Individuals were then categorized into NWO and NWCO. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure were also measured. All the data were analyzed using SPSS software. The prevalence of generalized obesity measured through BMI and PBF were 15% and 69.6% respectively. Central obesity measured through WC, WHR, and WHtR was 33.6%, 60.3%, and 11.2%, respectively. The prevalence of NWO in the total population was 21.9%. On the other hand, the prevalence of NWCO was 3.3%, 21.5%, and 12.1% as per WC, WHR, and WHtR respectively. The mean value of SBP and DBP was higher in individuals with NWO and NWCO. Preventive, interventional, and community-specific studies on NWO, NWCO, and their association with hypertension should be taken up by researchers who will help our policymakers in managing hypertension.
