“…As such, 30% of the sample reported this particular combination and 56% reported this combination alone or with additional risk factors. 21 Better to mention that the three health surveys outcomes revealed that health behavior risks were consistently increasing over decades of life. The present study would recommend furthering handling and addressing of concurrent multiple risk factors in future studies.…”

Health behavior is almost about people's own attitudes and habits, to resist or accept diseases. 1 Social as well as behavioral change in public health known as social and behavior change communication (SBCC). 2 Continuous efforts kept focusing on disease prevention to save costs at health care. 3 It is important particularly in low and middle-income countries, e.g. Ghana where health interventions have come under more scrutiny due to the cost. 4 Three behaviors such as (non-healthy diet, less physical activity, and smoking), are well known to lead to major diseases e.g. (heart disease/stroke, diabetes, cancer, pulmonary disease), which consist of 50% of deaths worldwide. Thus, emphasis in public health interventions focusing on changing behaviors and early intervening to decrease the negative impacts that come with these behaviors 5. Such successful intervention, can for sure lead decreasing healthcare costs by a drastic amount, as well as general costs to society (morbidity and mortality). Public health intervention is not defined by created results, but by also the number of levels it hits on the socio-ecological model including 6 (individual, interpersonal, community and/or environment). Generizablity is the main the challenge facing public health interventions: what may work

“…9,20 There are several mechanisms proposed to explain the relation between HTN and a positive family history of HTN, including increased renal sodium reabsorption, low urinary kallikrein excretion, elevated uric acid level, high fasting plasma insulin concentrations, high-density low-density lipoprotein sub-fractions, fat pattern index, and oxidative stress, as well as shared environmental factors such as high sodium intake. 10,21 Normotensive individuals with a positive family history have strong evidence of early cardiac morphologic changes (greater left ventricular wall thickness and mass) and altered peripheral vascular capacity and responsivity to pressor stimuli. [9][10][11][12][13] IAD in BP aids in the identification, monitoring, and better prognosis of HTN at an earlier stage.…”

Background: Hypertension (HTN) incidence and progression are monitored by regular blood pressure (BP) measurement; one of the most ignored components of regular check-up is the measurement of inter-arm difference (IAD) in BP. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of IAD in BP among offspring of hypertensive parents compared to normotensive parents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 male students at Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana for a period of 6 months. After IEC clearance, the subjects were divided into two groups, 50 students in each group: Group I had offspring with hypertensive parents and Group II had offspring with normotensive parents. Age, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. IAD was calculated as the difference between BP (Systolic BP [SBP] and diastolic BP [DBP]) in the right arm and left arm. Subjects with a history of structural, functional cardiovascular disease disorders, endocrine disorders, Diabetes mellitus, and addictions such as smoking and alcohol were excluded from the study. Data were statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. Results: Among 100 subjects, Group I and II IAD in SBP was 8.68±6.02 and 5.00±3.24 (P<0.0002), respectively, and Group I and II IAD in DBP was 5.12±4.48 4.79±3.56 (P<0.7117), respectively. BMI of the two groups is almost within the similar range (23.44±4.04, 22.098±3.15, respectively) and not statistically significant (P=0.0694), a positive correlation of 0.12, 011 was found between BMI, systolic IAD,and diastolic IAD, respectively. Conclusion: The above results show a significant association between IAD in systolic BP and family history of HTN.

Background:India is in a state of epidemiological, economic, demographic and nutrition transition. And all these transitions are leading to non communicable diseases. Hypertension is a major public health problem and important area of research due to its high prevalence and being major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and other complications.Objectives: To find out the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors among people living in study area.Methodology: It is a community based cross sectional study conducted among people living in Barrage colony of Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. House to house survey was conducted for 3 months from December 2018 to February 2019 in all the four blocks (A,B,C,D) of Barrage colony, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, to make a sample size of 955. Both male and female age of 15 years and above was included in the study. Results:The prevalence of hypertension among study participants was 10.4%. Prevalence of hypertension was found more in male subjects (12.6%) as compared to females subjects (6.9%).The risk factors found to be significantly associated with HTN in this study were increasing age, male gender, central obesity (high WHR), diabetes, smoking, alcohol, sedentary lifestyle and excess salt intake. Conclusion:There is significant burden of hypertension in Barrage colony, Rishikesh. Strong public health measures need to be seriously implemented to combat hypertension and its consequences.
