Abstract: | Introduction: Arterial hypertension and excess weight are two important public health problems that are increasingly affecting the world population, both in developed and developing countries. The aim of this study is to relate blood pressure values to body mass index (BMI) values in a group of people from Ukraine. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study in 41,093 Ukrainians in which the relationship between blood pressure and BMI was assessed. BMI is classified according to WHO criteria into 8 types ranging from underweight to type IV obesity. Results: There is a direct relationship between blood pressure values and BMI values in such a way that as BMI increases, blood pressure values increase in parallel. Age after 50 years, male sex, belonging to social class III and obesity increase the risk of presenting arterial hypertension. Conclusions: There is a relationship between BMI and blood pressure values in the Ukrainian population. |
