Abstract

Â Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the risk factors of hypertension among adults residing in urban slums of West Delhi.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among adult population of 18â€“59 years residing in urban slums of West Delhi. Blood pressure was measured twice using digital machine (OMRON). Height, waist circumference, and hip circumference were measured, weight was taken, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The Joint National Committee VII criteria were used to define hypertension, and the National Cholesterol Education Program and Adult Treatment Panel-III guidelines were used to define different categories of dyslipidemia. The World Health Organization (2014) criteria were used to classify the BMI.

Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension among adults (n=423) was 25.3%. Among hypertensive adults, the prevalence of obesity was 22.7%, while among non-hypertensives, it was 10.9%. Similarly, overweight prevalence was higher (27.3%) in hypertensive adults compared to non-hypertensive adults (20.6%). The overall prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol <40/<50 mg/dl, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) â‰¥130 was 19.7%, 33.7%, 75.7%, and 21.8%, respectively. The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and serum LDL-C â‰¥130 mg/dl was 38%, 50%, and 32% among hypertensive adults, while among non-hypertensive adults, it was 15%, 29%, and 19%, respectively.

Conclusion: Hypertensive adults had higher BMI, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL-C compared to non-hypertensives.
