Body mass index and blood pressure in a semi-urban community in Ota, Nigeria

Body mass index and blood pressure in a semi-urban community in Ota, Nigeria

~ D4bba122ee49ce125d576c141631b745.200x200
This study was designed to establish the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) in an increasingly industrialised town in Nigeria due to the rising prevalence of hypertension in non-industrialised countries. Factors associated with BMI and BP levels were determined in three hundred adult male and female subjects in Ota community of Ogun State, Nigeria. The levels of...
