摘要

目的:在全球范围内,超重和肥胖的患病率有所上升。研究发现,在身体质量指数(BMI)较高的人群中,血压(BP)升高。超重和高血压都有独立的致命健康后果,因为它们携带一些非传染性疾病的严重危险因素,如心脏病、中风、II型糖尿病,甚至死亡。正是在这种背景下进行了这项研究,以证实加纳的类似结果。本研究的目的是确定30-50岁成年人BMI和BP的相关性。材料与方法:采用世界卫生组织step - wise问卷进行修改,获取人口学和生活方式信息。体重和身高分别用体重计和体重计测量。用数字血压计记录血压。采用24小时回忆法评估参与者的饮食摄入量。结果:超重和肥胖的患病率分别为20.0%和7.5%。约32.5%的参与者(200人)患有高血压(收缩压[SBP]≥140 mm Hg)。高收缩压组与正常收缩压组差异有统计学意义(P = 0.01)。结论:BMI升高对研究人群的血压有积极影响。

Correlation of body mass index and blood pressure of adults of 30–50 years of age in Ghana
Aims: There is an increase in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity across the globe. Blood pressure (BP) has been found to increase among populations with high body mass index (BMI). Overweight and high BP both have independent fatal health consequences as they carry serious risk factors for several noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes, and even death. It is against this background that this research was carried out to corroborate similar result in Ghana. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation of BMI and BP of adults of 30–50 years. Materials and Methods: the WHO STEPwise questionnaires modified to obtain information on demography and lifestyle. Weight and height were measured using seca scale and stadiometer, respectively. BP was also recorded using digital sphygmomanometer. A 24-h recall method was used to assess the dietary intake of participants. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was found to be 20.0% and 7.5%, respectively. About 32.5% of the participants (200) were hypertensive (systolic blood pressure [SBP] ≥140 mm Hg). A significant difference existed between high and normal SBP of the participants (P = 0.01). Conclusion: An increase in BMI positively influenced BP among these study adults' population.
