ABSTRACT

Background and objectives: This study was undertaken to determine the correlation between anthropometric parameters with blood pressure in adult male population of Haryana.
Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 300 north indian haryanvi males aged 25-40 years belonging to two endogamous groups (baniyas&jats).  Measurements include subjects systolic and diastolic blood pressure, anthropometric measurements include height,weight,hip and waist circumference were taken and data was statistically analysed.
Results: Mean ±SD for weight,BMI and WHR were found to be more in baniyas than jats and p-value was found to be statistically significant.Increased anthropometric indices (BMI, WC, WHR, WHtR) and increased prevalence of hypertension was seen (50%) in baniyas and (39.33%) jats. BMI, WC, WHtR have a strong correlation with the hypertension and prehypertension .Information was obtained about lifestyle and dietary habits of the subjects.
Conclusion: Sedentary life style and changes in dietary habits resulted in high anthropometric indices  further increase the  prevalence  of  hypertension and prehypertension.Preventive measures should be undertaken to reduce the rising burden of hypertension.
Key Words: Anthropometry, Obesity, Haryanvi, Blood Pressure, Baniyas, Jats, Males.
