“…8,9 The present study showed a positive statistically significance between Body Mass Index and hypertension (p value of 0.042). Similar results were observed in various studies done by Alam et al, Srikanth et al, Gupta et al and Prashant et al [10][11][12][13] A study done by Sachdev et al showed there was positive association with BMI and hypertension with a p value of less than 0.001. 14 Prevalence of smoking among study participants was found to be 16.4%.…”

Background: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases, which is an important global public health problem and also the most leading cause for cardiovascular disease in both developed and developing countries. The aim and objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and to assess the associated risk factors among adults of rural population.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was done on 225 study subjects, using systemic random sampling method at Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu. Results: The study included 225 participants of which 53% were male and 47% were female. The overall prevalence of hypertension among the study population was 26.2%. Risk among male was greater than female (OR=1.390). Factors like age, body mass index, diet, family history of hypertension had significant association (p<0.05) with hypertension. Conclusions: Regular screening for hypertension among adults should be done in the general OPD as well as in health camps so that they have a knowledge regarding their own blood pressure status. Among those who already have hypertension, anti -hypertensive drugs, timely blood pressure check-up, screening for cardio vascular diseases and self-care management of hypertension need to be promoted.

“…Our study indicated almost half (49.5%) of the elderly population has hypertension. Similar to our findings a cross-sectional study carried out among elderly in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, including urban and slum area indicated an overall prevalence of hypertension as 50% [13]. Another study carried out among 211 elderly in rural Puducherry also reported the prevalence of hypertension as 40.5% [14].…”

Objective: The present study was carried out to assess the prevalence of hypertension among elderly in slums of West Delhi.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 202 elderly residing in urban slums of West Delhi. Hypertension was classified as per JNC VII criteria. Blood pressure was measured twice using digital machine (OMRON) after an interval of 5 min. The data obtained were analyzed for percent prevalence, mean, standard deviation, and median.Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was 49.1%; higher among male (56.0%) than female (41.9%). The prevalence of Stage I, Stage II, and isolated systolic hypertension was 30.7%, 18.8%, and 47%, respectively.Conclusion: Almost half of the elderly population in slums was hypertensive. Periodical health checkup and management through treatment and dietary and lifestyle modification is needed.
