Key result
Obesity and non-communicable risk factors such as smoking, inactive lifestyle, and unbalanced diet were significantly associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P≤0.05).
Why the study?
Hypertension is widespread globally, and the study aimed to assess whether overweight and non-communicable risk factors are associated with hypertension in men and women.
Do obesity and non-communicable risk factors (smoking, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet) associate with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=250)
Yes
Do obesity and non-communicable risk factors (smoking, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet) associate with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults?
p-value: p=≤0.05
Obesity, sedentary behavior, poor diet, and smoking are significantly associated with elevated blood pressure, highlighting the critical need for lifestyle modifications in hypertension management.
Background: Hypertension is very common in both men and women in all over the world, according to several studies, obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity are causative factors for hypertensive men and women. Objective: To assess whether overweight and Non Communicable risk factors have any association with Hypertension in male and female population. Study Design: Present study was A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study. Place and Duration: Current study was conducted in medical healthcare units and Ghurki Hospital Lahore from January to May 2023. Methodology: This is a Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study in which raw data were collected randomly from males and females of age from 30 to 65 years old. Total 250 individuals were divided into different groups regarding their demographics and Non Communicable risk factors. Relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure with obesity and inactive life style were measured.

Idrees et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=250). Obesity and non-communicable risk factors vs. Normal weight and healthy lifestyle was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p=≤0.05). Obesity and non-communicable risk factors such as smoking, inactive lifestyle, and unbalanced diet were significantly associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P≤0.05).
