Abstract

This research paper presents the findings of a comprehensive survey conducted in Ranipet village, Mahabubnagar district, with the primary aim of raising awareness about blood pressure (BP) fluctuations and overall health conditions among its residents. The study encompassed 554 individuals aged 19 and above, segmented into three age groups (19-40, 41-60, and 61 & above) and categorized by gender. BP levels were classified into Low, Normal, and High BP. The results revealed that the majority of the population maintained Normal BP, with 89.34% of males and 89.01% of females falling within this category. High BP prevalence increased with age, especially among females aged 41-60, where 14.29% exhibited High BP compared to 5.75% of males in the same age group. Conversely, Low BP occurrence was consistently low across all demographics. These findings underscore the importance of regular BP monitoring and tailored health strategies to improve health outcomes in small communities.
