Investigating the Relationship of Anthropometric Measurements with Blood Pressure among Endogamous Groups of Punjab & Haryana | Chapter 3 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 The current study comprised 1200 unmarried young adult ladies aged 18 to 35 who lived in the Haryana and Punjab regions. Subjects were studied from two sects of these two sites, Jat and Baniya. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between anthropometric measurements and blood pressure in young unmarried girls, and if anthropometric indicators could be used to predict high blood pressure. SBP and DBP were found to have a strong positive relationship with weight, BMI, WC, WHR, and WHtR. The WC and BMI have a strong relationship. Each one can help you anticipate your cardiovascular risk. In this study, it was discovered that in Haryana and Punjab, BMI, WC, WHR, and WHtR can be used as blood pressure predictors. When viewed specifically in endogamous populations, WC was found to be a better predictor of DBP in Punjabi Baniya females with a variation of 25% and in Haryanvi Baniya females with a variation of 10%. BMI was found to be a significant predictor of SBP in Punjabi Baniya females, with a variance of 19 percent, and WHtR was found to be a strong predictor of DBP in Punjabi Jat Sikh females, with a variance of 21 percent.
