Background: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of mortality in the world. Reducing the incidence of CVDs has been a challenge due to the multifactorial risk profile of their origin. Among the non-modifiable risk factor for CVDs family history holds a lot of importance. Objective of the study was to study blood pressure, waist hip ratio and body mass index among adolescents and verify the possible the relation with a family history of cardiovascular disease.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, which was conducted in 286 school children aged 10 to 19 years, of either sex, from Barabanki. After getting consent from school authorities, children and their parents, a detailed history was taken with a pre-designed proforma. Anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were taken.Results: In the presence of any risk factor of CVDs, 33.9% of the adolescents were overweight/obese, 45.8% had abdominal obesity, 26.3% had elevated systolic BP and 35.6% had elevated diastolic BP. The group with family history of CVDs had significantly higher number of adolescents with obesity and/or hypertension.Conclusions: The present studied showed an important association between family history of CVDs and blood pressure, waist hip ratio and body mass index in adolescents.

Background: The associations between elevated blood pressure and overweight increasing now a days. Over the last few decades the prevalence of elevated blood pressure also increased in children due to increasing pediatric overweight because of changing dietary habits, changing pattern of life style. Objective: To see the body mass index and waist hip ratio a predictor of hypertension of adolescent boys and girls in a metropolitan city in Bangladesh. Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional– descriptive study was conducted in the department of Pediatrics, Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet during the period from January 2014 to June 2014. Adolescent boys and girls in Sylhet Metropolitan City were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were children aged 12-16 years in Sylhet Metropolitan City. Children aged under 12 or above 16 years and with any systemic disorder were excluded. Results: This study showed that 56.4% adolescents were male and 43.6% were female with ratio of male: female = 1.3:1 and their average age was 14±2 yrs. Average height of male was 154.82±49.08 cm and female was 148.42±38.09 cm. Average weight of male was 49.12±10.49 kg and that of female was 44.48±12.08 kg .Prevalence of hypertension in adolescent boys and girls of Sylhet city was 0.70% and there was a significant relationship of hypertension with the obesity. Among 7 (seven) hypertensive children, 3(42.8%) were overweight and 3(42.8%) obese (p=0.001). While waist hip ratio among those, 2(28.6%) were excellent and 5(71.4%) were average; was not significant (p=0.745) among the hypertensive adolescents. Conclusion: Prevalence of hypertension in apparently healthy adolescent child of Sylhet city was 0.70% and had a strong relationship with high body mass index J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2020; 38(3): 110-115
