| Abstract: |
Hypertension is one of the most common causes of various diseases in the World and major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Mental or psychosocial stress is one of the leading risk factor for hypertension which itself is main causative factor for several cardiovascular diseases. The present study has been undertaken on the 130 clinically diagnosed hypertensive patients visiting multispecialty Hospitals in Ludhiana, Punjab. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BP) of the subjects were determined using a mercury sphygmomanometer and the stethoscope. A significant (P<0.01) difference was found with respect to male and female systolic blood pressure, however, non significant
for diastolic blood pressure of the subjects. Majority of the male subjects were found to be at Stage I (50.70 per cent) degree of Hypertension (BP 140-159 or/90-99 mm Hg), whereas, majority of the female subjects were Pre hypertensive (54.24 per cent) i.e. BP 120-139 or / 80-89 mmHg. Moreover, a significant (P<0.01) association was found between age and degree of Hypertension of the subjects. 67.60 per cent of male and 45.76 per cent of female subjects were found to live a stressful life. A non significant association was found between various risk factors like stress and sleeping pattern with the degree of hypertension of the subjects.
