ABSTRACT:
Back ground of the study:Identifying the risk factors leading to hypertension can help explain why some populations are at a greater risk for developing hypertension than others. The present study seeks to identify the association between the risk factors of hypertension in 35- to 65-year-old participants in south India .
Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 100 teaching faculty working at Paavai engineering college, Namakkal we assessed the direct and indirect effects of factors associated with blood pressure.
Results: Socioeconomic status (SES), physical activity, kidney diseases, cardio vascular diseases, diabetes and family history of hypertension had a diverse impact on the blood pressure, directly and (or) indirectly. The standardized total effect of SES, physical activity, kidney diseases, cardio vascular diseases were -0.09 vs. -0.14, -0.04 vs. -0.04, 0.13 vs. 0.13 and 0.24 vs. 0.15 in men and women, respectively. Diabetes had a direct relationship with the blood pressure in women (0.03).
