Abstract
This study aimed to explore the connection between hypertension and obesity by examining the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure in a sample of 1,048 adults aged 20 to 100. Through a door-to-door survey, participants provided consent and underwent standard measurements for both blood pressure and anthropometry. The study divided men and women into distinct classes based on their characteristics, distinguishing between normotensive and hypertensive BMI categories to assess potential hypertension risk. Results indicated that obese males were three times more likely to develop hypertension than their normal-weight counterparts, while obese females faced a three-fold higher risk compared to normal-weight females. The study emphasized a noteworthy correlation between obesity indicators and blood pressure, suggesting an increased risk of hypertension associated with higher BMI across various age groups. These findings underscore the significance of preventive measures targeting both overweight and obesity for effective hypertension risk reduction
