“…Both study revealed that there were no significant positive correlations of BMI with both systolic BP, diastolic BP and age. 10 Similarly another study conducted in rural health training centre area of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, revealed that out of 500 study subjects more than half (51.6%) of the study subjects were having normal BMI and around one-third (34.2%) of the subjects were overweight. 2 Likewise the finding of this study is also supported by the another study done in Ghana which showed the prevalence of overweight and obesity was found to be 20.0% and 7.5%, respectively.…”

“…9 While the study conducted in Jama' in Bauchi state, Nigeria showed that there was no statistically significant association between age, BMI and BP, except for BMI and DBP. 10 Some studies have reported that there is increased risk of mortality related to cardiovascular disease among the very lean and very overweight. 1 While other studies have reported no significant relationship between BMI and blood pressure.…”

Introduction: Increase in body mass index increases risk of developing high blood pressure. Controversies have been found regarding the association of body mass index with high blood pressure. So, this study was conducted to find association between body mass index and blood pressure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 245 adults of Pokhara, Lekhnath Metropolitan Ward No. 27 using convenient sampling method. The questionnaire was adopted from the step 2 (physical measurements) section of the WHO STEPS instrument. Results: Among 245 subjects, almost half (48.5%) of the subjects had normal body mass index. One-fourth (25%) of the subjects were overweight. About 60 percent of the respondents had normal systolic blood pressure. There were no significant positive correlations of body mass index with both systolic BP, diastolic BP and age. However, significant positive correlation was found between age and systolic BP. Conclusions: The study finding concluded that there are no significant positive correlations of body mass index with both systolic BP, diastolic BP and age. However, age and systolic BP has significant positive correlation. Therefore, with increase in age, regular monitoring of BP is required.

Objectives: Increase in body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (BP). Several studies also indicate that high BP is associated with age. Controversies have been found regarding the association of BMI with high BP and age. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the association between BP, BMI, and age. Material and Methods: Using the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR 131103) Study on the Effects of Mindfulness on Lifestyle Behavior and BP, prospectively gathered data were retrospectively analyzed. A randomized controlled study was conducted. Using the statistical MedCalc program, the patient demographic data – including their age, BMI, and BP – were statistically examined. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 P-value. Results: Of the 37 participants, 43.3% had a normal BMI. One-fourth (40.5%) of the people were obese. 13.5% and 32.4% of the people had normal systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP, respectively. Age, SBP, or DBP did not significantly correlate with BMI. Nevertheless, there was a positive and substantial correlation between BMI, age, SBP, DBP, weight, and height. Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, there are no appreciable positive connections between BMI and either SBP or DBP, or age. However, the weakly positive relationships between SBP and DBP and age suggest that regular BP monitoring is necessary.
