“…These findings are consistent with previously published studies [16]. Our results are not consistent with the study which show no significant correlation of SBP, DBP with MUAC [24]. The inconsistency might be since other study has used only small sample size.…”

Introduction: Middle Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is used to assess nutritional status particularly under nutrition. Recently, the use of MUAC has been suggested as a novel anthropometric marker to assess the condition of obesity among the children, adolescents, and young adults. We, therefore, setup / study to evaluate the correlation of MUAC for the assessment of various CVD risk factors. Methodology: The study was carried out from April 2021 to March 2022. Total 366 participants were randomly selected, out of which 190 were male participants and 176 were female participants. The data was collected using interview based questionnaire; middle upper arm circumference was measures using a non stretchable measuring tape. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS ver 23. Results: The mean age of participants was 24.04±4.04, the mean values of WC, WHR, SBP, DBP, and LDL were significantly higher (P< 0.05) in males, the mean values of HDL were significantly higher in females(p< 0.05). Non-significant difference in the mean values of BMI, FBG, Cholesterol and Triglycerides (P> 0.05) were observed between male and female participants. MUAC showed strong positive correlation with BMI, WC and WHR (P<.001). Except HDL all other CVD risk factors showed significant positive correlation with MUAC (P<.001), however, MUAC showed a significantly negative correlation with HDL( r = -.370, P<.001) in males, no correlation of MUAC with HDL ( r = -.028, P<.001) was observed in females. Conclusion: Except HDL significant correlation was observed between MUAC and various CVD risk factors.

“…Further, our study showed that DIABPD had a statistically signi cant correlation with arm circumference, whereas the previous studies had not addressed it. The possible explanation is that MUAC represents higher muscle mass in men and adiposity in women (33).…”

Background The risk factors and condition of cardiovascular disease have been associated with raised inter-arm blood pressure differences. Globally, the primary risk factor for cardiovascular death is hypertension. Regardless of a blood pressure differences between the arms, one-arm blood pressure readings are frequently performed in clinical settings. This practice has been related to poor control of hypertension and a higher rate of hypertension diagnosis delays. This study aims to determine the correlation between the inter-arm blood pressure difference and anthropometric parameters as well as a family history of hypertension.Methods From September 25 to November 15, 2022, a community-based cross-sectional study was carried out among adult normotensive residents of Ginchi town. 567 study participants were chosen using a multistage sampling technique. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to gather information on socio-demographic characteristics and family history of hypertension. Anthropometric parameters and blood pressure were measured using non-stretching tape, a combined digital weight and height scale, and a digital blood pressure apparatus, respectively. The correlation between continuous variables was shown by Pearson's correlation coefficient, while the correlation between continuous variables and categorical variables was examined using a one-way ANOVA and a two independent sample t-test.Results The study found that 52.96% of participants had increased blood pressure differences between arms; 39.2% (95% CI, 35.1–43.3) had increased systolic blood pressure differences between arms, and 13.76% (95% CI, 11-16.9) had increased diastolic blood pressure differences between arms.. Increased diastolic inter-arm blood pressure difference was statistically correlated with weight, arm circumference, waist circumference, body mass index, and family history of hypertension; elevated systolic inter-arm blood pressure difference was correlated with height, arm circumference, body mass index, and family history of hypertension.Conclusion Among persons with normotension, the increased interarm blood pressure difference was 52.96%, and it was significantly correlated with anthropometric parameters and a family history of hypertension. Thus, it is important to measure blood pressure in both arms as part of standard clinical practice. Additionally, more investigation is needed to elucidate the mechanism and causal relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and IAD.
