SUBCAPITAL- CLINICAL CORRELATION OF 2ND (INDEX) TO 4TH (RING) DIGIT RATIO WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR CORONARY HEART DISEASE IN WEST U.P. MALES

Abstract

BACKGROUND - The aim of our research work was to estimate the association with high blood pressure and the 2D : 4D ratio, and the intimation of this association with the cardiovascular problem in males living in the west of the Uttar Pradesh. As a result of exposure to prenatal sex steroids the ratio of the index nger to the ring nger of the hand is changed. Three METHOD - hundred adult male human subjects from the west up region served as participants in the study. The total number of subjects was divided into two groups: one group consisted of 150 west U.P males with high blood pressure (also known as hypertension), while the other group consisted of 150 west U.P. males with normal blood pressure (also known as normotensive) and served as the control group. The length of the index and ring ngers (2D:4D) was measured, and then we estimated the mean value, the standard deviation, and the p-value. According to the RESULT – measurements that we were taken, the results exhibit that there is a great distinction of of 2D:4D ratio with the control category and the hypertensive category, and the ratio is greater in both hands for the hypertensive group than it is for the control category. In counting to this, the ratio was found to be greater in the left hand of the hypertension group. If the p-value is < 0.05, then there is a statistically distinction positive association. The ndings of the recent work indicate that there is a stat CONCLUSION - istically great direct correlation with 2D:4D ratio and hypertension in adult males. This connection may serve as a predictor for coronary heart disorders that are connected to prenatal sex hormones. Nevertheless, additional research is required to validate these preliminary ndings.
