Hipertensiadalah penyebab kematian utama di Indonesia. Kematian akibat hipertensi lebih banyak terjadi di perkotaan dibandingkan di desa. Tingginya kejadian hipertensi dipengaruhi oleh faktor yang dapat dikontrol (obesitas,berat badan lebih, konsumsi garam berlebih,aktivitas fisik rendah, perokok, dan konsumsi alkohol) dan faktor yang tidak dapat dikontrol (genetik, usia, dan jenis kelamin). Penelitian bertujuan memberikan gambarandistribusi tekanan darah dan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) pendudukperempuan di kota maupun di desa.Desain penelitian adalah deskriptif kuatitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Data primer didapatkan melalui pengukuran tekanan darah, tinggi badan dan berat badan. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Kutowinangun Kidul, Kecamatan Tingkir,Salatiga yang mewakili penduduk perempuan di perkotaan dan Desa Batur, Kecamatan Getasan, Kabupaten Semarangyang mewakili penduduk perempuan pedesaan. Adapun jumlah sampel masing-masing 66 respondendan 72responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kejadian penyakit hipertensi, resiko obese dan obese lebih didominasi oleh respondendi perkotaan dibandingkan di pedesaan dengan rentang usia di atas 46 tahun. Respondendi desa dengan indeks massa tubuh normal cenderung mengalami pre-hipertensi (8,3%) dan hipertensi stadium I (6,9%) sementararesponden dengan resiko obese dan obese cenderung mengalami hipertensi stadium I (1,4%).Respondendi kota dengan indeks massa tubuh normal cenderung mengalami pre hipertensi (6,06%), hipertensi stadium I (4,5%) dan II (7,5%). Responden dengan resiko obese cenderung mengalami hipertensi stadium I (4,5%), dan responden dengan obese I dan II cenderung mengalami pre-hipertensi (4,5%).   Hypertension is the leading cause of death in Indonesia. Deaths due to hypertension are more common in urban areas than in villages. The high incidence of hypertension is influenced by factors that can be controlled (obesity, overweight, excessive salt consumption, low physical activity, smokers, and alcohol consumption) and factors that cannot be controlled (genetic, age, and sex). The study aimed to provide an overview of blood pressure distribution and body mass index (BMI) of female residents in cities and villages. The study design was descriptive quantitative with a cross sectional approach. Primary data was obtained through measurements of blood pressure, height and weight. The study was conducted in Kutowinangun Kidul Village, Tingkir Subdistrict, Salatiga representing women in urban areas and Batur Village, Getasan Subdistrict, Semarang Regency, representing rural women. The number of samples was 66 respondents and 72 respondents respectively. The results showed that the incidence of hypertension, the risk of obese and obese was more dominated by respondents in urban areas than in rural areas with ages above 46 years. Respondents in villages with normal body mass index tended to experience pre-hypertension (8.3%) and stage I hypertension (6.9%) while respondents with obese and obese risk tended to experience stage I hypertension (1.4%). Respondents in cities with normal body mass index tended to experience pre-hypertension (6.06%), stage I hypertension (4.5%) and II (7.5%). Respondents with obese risk tended to experience stage I hypertension (4.5%), and respondents with obese I and II tended to experience pre-hypertension (4.5%).

Background: The anaerobic capacity is a useful concept, its application during exercise testing should considerably increase the information gained regarding cardiovascular function in health and disease. The objective was to evaluate oxygen independent fitness (anaerobic capacity) in pre-collegiate boys (age group of 16-18 years) of Vijayapur, North Karnataka, India.Methods: Eighty seven young adolescent healthy pre-collegiate boys volunteered for this study. The following parameters were recorded: Physical anthropometric parameters: body surface area, body mass index, body fat percentage, Physiological parameters: Blood pressure, physical fitness index test and anaerobic fitness step test. Correlation analysis and Z tests were used to analyze the obtained data.Results: Physical anthropometric parameters of the subjects were found within normal range. Statistically significant exercise induced rise in blood pressure were observed in physical fitness step test. Anaerobic capacity was correlated with body surface area, body mass index, body fat percentage and pre and post exercise blood pressure. Physical fitness index was not correlated with anaerobic capacity.  Conclusions:The physical fitness index was in good category, normal physiological response to exercise but physical fitness index not correlated with anaerobic capacity. Anaerobic capacity was found within normal range in pre-collegiate boys of age 16-18 years in study area. Ideal body mass index may not be possible in this age group.

Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the structure, characteristics and significance of the relationship between physical fitness, BMI and WHR on one hand and hypertension of elderly men and women on the other. Methods: The sample consisted of 1288 participants (594 men and 694 women) who live in their own households in the cities and villages of Central, Eastern and South Serbia. After the obtained classification of participants based on arterial blood pressure, 231 patients with hypertension aged 60-80 years were selected. The subsample consisted of 138 male participants, while the subsample of women was 93 participants. Predictor variables consisted of 6 variables for the evaluation of physical fitness, Body mass index (BMI) and Waist-to Hip Ratio index (WHR). Criterion variables consisted of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Results: The results showed that there is a statistically significant correlation (p <0.05) between predictor variables and hypertension. Higher values of higher SBP in elderly men causes an increase in body weight due to increased body fat (BMI, WHR). In elderly women, these changes occur under the influence of increased body mass index and reduced CRF. Higher values of high DBP in elderly men cause more power and flexibility of the upper body and in elderly women greater strength in the arms and less strength in legs and CRF. Conclusions: Being overweight in both subsamples could be considered as a factor that contributes to high blood pressure.

Calcium is the main mineral that is needed by athletes for bone strength, joint, and muscle contraction during exercise. Strenuous and prolonged exercise will progressively increase calcium requirements. This inadequate calcium intake is having an impact on hypocalcemia and increasing the risk of sports injuries. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of calcium supplementation on fitness and health in Tarung Derajat athletes. The research design was experimental (pretest-posttest without control group design). A total of 21 Tarung Derajat athletes, aged 18-25 years, male and female were the subjects. The examination was physical fitness, anthropometric values, and blood pressure to determine the health profile, and blood calcium. The intervention was a calcium tablet, a dose of 1x1000 mg/day, given after dinner, and for 35 days. The results found that the number of female athletes with hypocalcemia decreased by 50%, from 44.44% (before) to 22.22% after calcium therapy. Physical fitness increased (p<0.05), but there was no change in weight (p>0.05), body mass index (BMI) (p>0.05), blood pressure (BP) (p>0.05) ) and calcium levels (p>0.05) after calcium supplementation. Conclusions: supplementation of calcium tablets decreased the amount of hypocalcemia in Tarung Derajat female athletes, increases physical fitness, does not significantly increase calcium levels but otherwise does not affect anthropometry (body weight and body mass index), and blood pressure in Tarung Derajat athletes.

Body mass index (BMI) is a significant marker in assessing the health risk factors of an individual. Although, the discovery of BMI is over 200 years, however, its application as a measure of health is fairly new. Hitherto, the prevalence of higher BMI amongst university students is on the rise. Consequently, the present study endeavor to investigate the association of BMI and other health-related parameters namely; per cent body fat, visceral fat, basal metabolic rate (BMR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, core and upper muscle endurance, maximum oxygen consumption (V02max) and metabolic equivalent (MET). A total number of 232 university students were enrolled and completed the physical fitness assessments and health indicator measurement of the variables. A multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was used to observe the association of the BMI as the dependent variable with the physical fitness as well as health parameters as independent variables. A significant regression model was obtained F (3.225, 5) = 301.104, P <0.0001, R2 = 0.869 demonstrating that the model has accounted for about 87% variability of the whole dataset. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that per cent body fat, visceral fat, BMR, as well as VO2max, are the major contributors towards the model prediction P <0.001. Moreover, positive significant relationships were detected between the BMI, per cent body fat, visceral fat, BMR, systolic and diastolic blood pressure whilst negative association between the BMI and performance in upper muscle endurance and VO2max were noted. BMI index could be a potential marker of assessing university students’ health-related risks that would consequently reveal vital information about their overall health status.
