“…Globalization, politically unstable situations and increasing gurbanization, changes intraditional family structures and life styles, and a more mechanized work place directly affect dietary and physical activity patterns and ultimately increase the risk of such diseases. The results of the present study demonstrated that the overall prevalence of overweight and obesity were (45.5%) and (21.0%), respectively which corroborates with Asian Shamail Zafar et al study (99 (20.5%) as overweight, and 30(6.2 %) as obese in medical students (51) . In this study, the mean values of WHR for female participants (> 0.87) fall within the range classified as obese in women, also the 23 centrally obese subjects in this study with normal BMI support the fact of an increase in abdominal fat for this group of participants as founded in (Flier, 2005) (50) , this also corroborates the observation by Welborn (2003) which also say that WHR may provetobea more appropriate and universal indicator of risk for an ethnically-diverse population (11) .…”

“…These results do not corroborates with the observation by Welborn. (11) and Canoy et aland Shamail Zafar (51,52) which says obesity and overweight and hypertension more in old age stable 13A,B. The results obtained in this study revealed that significance of the relation of WC with SBP and DBP (P value=0.001) was more that of both WHR and BMI this corroborates with Yang F Study 2006 (12) .…”

It has also been suggested to be a better in dicator of cardiovascular risk, as it is less dependent on body size and height (50,51) . However, these results of female subjects in young adult age group were not consistence with the findings of Brown et al which say that male gender and the old age group more predominant (25) .…”

Hypertension is strongly related to body mass index (BMI). Obesity has been the single main contributor to hypertension. Furthermore, the clinical manifestations are normally associated with BMI in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between clinical features and BMI among hypertensive patients in both males and females. Methodology A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 296 patients having a self-reported history of hypertension and on anti-hypertensive medication. The study was conducted in the medical outpatient department of a secondary care hospital in Karachi during six months (January 2020 to June 2020). A detailed history was taken from each patient about hypertension-related symptoms, and clinical examination was performed. Blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer with a stethoscope. Results Of the 296 patients, 156 (52.2%) were males and 140 (47.3%) were females; 16 (5.4%) of them were underweight, 91 (30.7%) were normal weight, 129 (43.6%) were overweight, and 60 (20.3%) were obese; in addition, 106 (35.8%) reported edema and 71 (24.0%) reported nausea and so on. As far as the association of clinical features and BMI was concerned, our study results showed that only edema (p=0.017) and nausea (p=0.044) were significantly associated with the BMI of the patients. Patients with edema were more likely to be obese than those without edema (29.2% vs. 15.3%), whereas patients with nausea were more likely to be overweight than those without nausea (57.7% vs. 39.1%). Conclusions Our study showed that among the clinical features, edema and nausea were significantly associated with the BMI of the patients, whereas the relationship with others was insignificantly related to BMI of the patients in both male and female patients.

“…Moreover, the vascular changes associated with EHT are generally considered to be related to the aging process [39]. The increased prevalence of hypertension with advanced age [40] was also evident. Blood pressure tends to increase with age, such that a higher prevalence of hypertension could be expected as a consequence of the growing elderly population [41].…”

Background and objectives: The oxidative stress, antioxidant status and inflammatory process are cooperative events involved in development and progression of essential hypertension. This study was as a step for elucidating the contribution of the malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, interlukine -18 and lipid profile with the incidence, development, and progression of essential hypertension. Aims: The aims of this study were, to assess the change in serum malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, interlukine-18 and lipid profile levels in patients with essential hypertension, moreover, find out the effect of other confounding factors age, gender and stage of the disease on the serum levels of focused parameters and finally detect the correlation between all interested parameters. Patients and Methods: This study was designed to examine the associations between the serum interested parameters levels with the incidence of essential hypertension in 50 patients of both genders, and for the comparing purpose an equal number of the matched age-gender healthy adults also enrolled in this study as a control group. The hypothesis that oxidant /antioxidant status and inflammatory process influence the risk of adverse clinical outcomes are worthy for investigating. Accordingly, malondialdehyde was measured using coloremetric method, while, glutathione peroxidase and interlukine -18 were measured using enzyme linked immmunosorbent assay and lipid profile was estimated using commercial kit. Results: Patients exhibited a significant elevation in the serum malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, interleukin-18 and lipid profile levels as compared with the control group. Conclusion: The data of the present study indicated that an alteration in oxidant / antioxidant status and inflammatory process in patients with essential hypertension. This investigation provided the first evidence of the ability of malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, interlukine -18 and lipid profile in combination patterns as a factors involved in essential hypertension pathophysiology, etiology and are regarded as a markers of prognostic significance and potential therapeutic targets for future. The demonstration of these parameters provided a new insights into understanding the independence of oxidative stress /antioxidant status and inflammatory pathways in essential hypertension incidence, development and progression.
