Abstract

Background: One of the most important factors in hypertension is overweight and obesity, which there are several methods in order to measure them. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relation between hypertension and anthropometric indexes among Iranian adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 2264 patients with at least 18 years of age were enrolled, and demographic information, blood pressure, and anthropometric indices including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and the relationship between these indices and blood pressure in the patients were investigated. Findings: Prevalence of hypertension was 21.3% and 18.7% in men and women, respectively. All anthropometric indices were correlated significantly with systolic blood and diastolic pressure (P < 0.001). In both genders suffering from hypertension, all those variables were significantly higher compared to normal individuals (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings showed that there was a significant relationship between anthropometric variables and hypertension. At the same time, further studies are needed to find out the exact relationship between these indicators and hypertension. © 2019 Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS). All rights reserved.
