“…Based on the results of previous studies conducted on body mass index, it has a linear relationship with blood pressure where systole and diastolic blood pressure increases in line with the increase of body mass index of a person 7 . Other studies which have similar results also support the findings 8,9 . However, there are several other studies which are not in line with this research 10,11 .…”

Hypertension is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease and it is a major problem in both developed and developing countries. Obesity is one of the main risk factors of hypertension. Hypertension and obesity are health problems which its prevalence is continues to increase in Indonesia. The anthropometric index that can be used to determine nutritional status are the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference measurement. This study was an observational analytic with cross sectional method. The sample of this study was 275 respondent who were selected using the consecutive sampling method in Karang Asam public health center Samarinda. Data of this study were obtained from direct measurement of height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure of respondent and data were analyzed by using chi square test. The result of statistical test showed that there was relationship between body mass index (p = 0,000 ; OR= 5,234 ; 95% CI= 3,090-8,865) and waist circumference (p = 0,000; OR=5,489 ; 95% CI= 3,233 – 9,318) with blood pressure. There was a significant relationship between body mass index and waist circumference with blood pressure at Karang Asam Public Health Center Samarinda.

“…Obesity, especially visceral fat, and family history of hypertension contribute to hypertension significantly 4–6. Numerous studies agree on the idea that people with family history of hypertension have higher chance to get hypertension 6–9. Usually, when it comes to obesity, the indexes that are most frequently used to assess obesity are body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR); however, these traditional obesity indexes merely reflect the degrees of overweight and abdominal obesity, and also cannot distinguish the difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat 10.…”

Interaction of lipid accumulation product and family history of hypertension on hypertension risk: a cross-sectional study in the Southern Chinese population

et al. 2019

ObjectivesThis study aimed at investigating the applicability of a novel index based on waist circumference (WC) and triglyceride (TG) which was named lipid accumulation product (LAP) in the Southern Chinese population, and compared the predictive effects of LAP and other obesity indicators on hypertension risk. Moreover, this study investigated the interactive effects of LAP and family history of hypertension.MethodsA total number of 2079 of community-dwelling adults in Southern China were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The participants underwent questionnaire surveys, anthropometric tests and laboratory examinations. Themultinomial logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic curves, including LAP, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), WC and TG, were used to assess the association between hypertension risk and obesity indexes. The interaction effects were evaluated by relative excess risk of interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) and synergy index (SI).ResultsHigher LAP levels have a relatively higher risk of having hypertension in both sexes (males: adjusted OR=2.79 per SD increase, 95% CI 1.43 to 5.44, p<0.001; females: adjusted OR=3.15, 95% CI 1.56 to 6.39, p<0.001). LAP (area under the curve=0.721; 95% CI 0.680 to 0.761) is a better indicator in identifying hypertension risk than BMI, WHR and TG in females, but WC performed better in males. A significant interaction between LAP and family history of hypertension was observed in males (RERI=1.652, 95% CI 0.267 to 3.037; AP=0.516, 95% CI 0.238 to 0.794; SI=3.998, 95% CI 0.897 to 17.820), but there is no statistically significant difference in females.ConclusionsLAP significantly associates with hypertension risk in the Southern Chinese population. It has better performance than BMI, WHR and TG on predicting hypertension risk of the Southern Chinese female population. Moreover, LAP and family history of hypertension might synergistically increase the risk of hypertension.

“…Lifestyle is deeply related to the BPs in the university students' reports (9,10,11,16). In the multivariate analyses, BMI, age and lack of exercise were the variables significantly (p < 0.001) contributing to high BPs in the male undergraduates (Table 2).…”

“…We used a frequency-quantity approach as follows ; 1) exercise habit (1, exercising every day ; 2, exercising sometimes ; 3, not exercising), 2) drinking status (1, drinking every day ; 2, drinking socially ; 3, not drinking), 3) smoking status (1, current smoker ; 2, previous smoker ; 3, nonsmoker), 4) breakfast taking (1, taking every morning ; 2, taking a few days a week ; 3, skipping every morning) and 5) actual sleeping hours (hrs). These factors have been nominated in literature as health-related lifestyle components, which are related deeply not only to the physical health but also to the mental health of the university students (8)(9)(10)(11).…”

Background : High blood pressure (BP) is a healthcare problem in young persons. There are racial differences in anthropometrics, dietary habit and lifestyle relating to BP. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between anthropometrics, lifestyle and BP obtained in the Japanese university students. Materials and Methods : Participants were recruited in annual health screening including questionnaire, measurements of BP and anthropometrics calculating body mass index (BMI). Totally, 14,280 students (10,273 males and 4,007 females) were eligible. Multiple regression analyses were applied to predict contributors to high BP. Results : BMI was the most powerful contributor to high BP in many subgroups divided by gender and graduation (p < 0.001). In lifestyle, contribution of lack of exercise to high BPs was observed in the undergraduates. Smoking, drinking and breakfast skipping had no significant impact on high BP. However, smoking and drinking permeated and exercise habit declined after graduation. Prevalence of obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg / m 2 ) and hypertension ( ≥ 140 / 90 mmHg) increased in subgroups with advanced age (p < 0.001). Conclusion: BMI was found to be the most powerful contributor to high BPs. Health literacy to modify lifestyle is important to prevent hypertension for university students who are exposed to social trends of unhealthy lifestyle.
