Abstract

High blood pressure is a major determinant of risk for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke, leading causes of death in the industrialized world. Similarly, the high blood glucose levels have been found to be major contributor for higher blood pressure [1]. So a tool to identify and categorize the at risk patients who are prone to develop high blood pressure is necessary for surveillance of a population. The main aim of this study was to arrive at factors which have significant influence on blood pressure in hypertensive individuals of the South Indian population.This is a prospective cross sectional study carried out in India
