Changes in the body mass index and blood pressure association across time: Evidence from multiple cross-sectional and cohort studies

The Obesity and Hypertension are major risk factors of several life threatening diseases in human body. Objectives: To determine correlation coefficient of Body Mass Index with blood pressure: a gender based comparison in medical students. Study Design: Comparative Cross-sectional study in students. Setting: Physiology department of BMU Karachi. Period: Duration of this study was 6 months from February 2017 to August 2017. Material and Methods: A total of 500 students were enrolled in this study. The anthropometric measurement [height (m2) and weight (kg)] was recorded for calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) was measured by using sphygmomanometer with stethoscope. SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: BMI overall in both genders were significantly (p<0.05) correlated in mean Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP). Underweight and Normal weight were not correlated with both mean SBP and mean DBP in both genders. Overweight subjects were positively correlated with mean DBP in males and mean SBP in females (p<0.05). Obese students were not significantly (p>0.05) correlated with both mean SBP and mean DBP in males whereas, there were not enough observations to draw any meaningful conclusion in females. Conclusion: Overweight subjects were positively correlated (p<0.05) with mean DBP in males and mean SBP in females and overall BMI (mean SBP & mean DBP) in both genders.

Aim: To characterize the Tpeak-Tend, the Tpeak-Tend dispersion and Tpeak-Tend/QT in children and its relationship with clinical variables. Methods: Cross-sectional study in 126 children between 9 and 12 years of the Camilo Cienfuegos School in Santa Clara, Cuba. Clinical and anthropometric variables were obtained to determine their relationship with electrocardiographic parameters: Tpeak-Tend V5, Tpeak-Tend dispersion and Tpeak-Tend/QT ratio V5. In addition, laboratory tests were conducted. Results: Age and systolic blood pressure are associated with an increased probability of having values of Tpeak-Tend/QT V5 ≥75 percentile for both sexes (OR: 1.72, CI 95%: 1.02-2.91; p= 0.043), (OR: 1.08, CI 95%: 1.01-1.16; p= 0.017) respectively. The body mass index and systolic blood pressure are linearly and significantly correlated with the Tpeak-Tend/QT V5 (r= 0.224; p= 0.012) and (r= 0.220; p= 0.014) respectively. Conclusions: The age of the patients and the systolic blood pressure figures are factors that increase the probability of having values of the Tpeak-Tend/QT V5 ≥75 percentile. There was a significant linear correlation between the Tpeak-Tend/QT V5 with the body mass index and the systolic blood pressure.

Fire Extinguishing

This research aims to seek the relation of the index of the body with blood pressure on the fire-extinguishing officers in Samarinda. The method for this research is using a cross-sectional research design. The results of this statistical test indicate a significant link between the body mass index and hypertension but with a weak correlation. The correlation direction shows a positive direction, and it can be concluded that the higher body mass index is, the greater the degree of hypertension experienced by individuals. This research finds that the calculation of body mass index can be a predictor of the occurrence of hypertension, especially in individuals with excess weight up to obesity. The community is efficiently screening the risk of hypertension and supervision through the calculation of mass body index. The public does not need to rely on the availability of blood pressure gauges in screening. Similar research in various types of communities further strengthened that the body mass index is strongly correlated with hypertension. Keyword: Hypertension, Body Mass Index, Firefighter

Background. Aging is a natural process after the three stages of life, namely children, adulthood and old age that cannot be avoided by any individual. The increase of the age will cause changes in the structure and physiological properties of a range of cells, organs and systems in the body. Metabolic processes that decrease on the elderly will lead to obesity due to decreased physical activity, then the excess calories will be converted into fat resulting in obesity. Overweight or obesity is one of the factors that can influence blood pressure and the development of hypertension. Purpose. The purpose of this research was to know the correlation between Body Mass Index with elderly blood pressure in puskesmas Melong Asih Cimahi. Methods. The methods in this study used analytic research method with cross sectional approach, there were 80 elderly (60- 74 years) as respondents. Sampling techniques used simple random sampling. Results. The results of univariat analysis used frequency distribution showed distribution evenly on IMT skinny (20%), normal (26.2%), fat (26.2%), obesity (27.6%). Similarly, on the frequency distribution of blood pressure normal (36.2%), pre hypertension (31.2%), and hypertension (32.6%). The results of Chi-Square statistical test showed p value = 0.000 < a 0.05. Conclusions. The conclusions from this study which conducted on June 2013 that there was a correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) with elderly blood pressure in Puskesmas Melong Asih Cimahi.

Background: Studies have suggested that atherosclerotic changes take place in the body since childhood due to altered dietary patterns and sedentary lifestyle. It is critical to identify gap areas and update current literature to produce effective changes in our lifestyle. Study design: A cross-sectional survey conducted among school going adolescents in Karachi. Methods: A cross sectional study was performed in three different schools of Karachi. A sample size of 288 was drawn through non-probability, purposive sampling technique. Students were given a questionnaire comprising of questions regarding their physical activity levels, dietary patterns and knowledge regarding blood pressure. Blood pressure and Body Mass Index data was also recorded. Results: Mean age of participants was around 14. Of the 288 students that participated in this study (122 boys and 166 girls), 227 were normal for hypertension status (93 boys and 134 girls), 27 were pre-hypertensive (7 boys and 20 girls), and 34 were hypertensive (22 boys and 12 girls). Mean systolic blood pressure was approximately 112.73, and mean diastolic blood pressure was approximately 71.25. Awareness among participants was high regarding hypertension being linked to the foods they consumed (62.8%). Conclusion: Our study did not show strong correlation between physical activity and dietary patterns, with status of hypertension. Screening programs should be conducted in schools to monitor blood pressure and body mass index. High risk groups should be approached and advised for lifestyle modification.
