Association of Waistline Measurements with Hypertension in Type II Diabetic Patients in Bihar.

Aim:Aim of this study is to evaluate the interrelation of Waistline Measurements with the Arterial blood pressure and cardiometabolic risks among Type II diabetic patients and finding relation how obesity factors influence the risk of Cardiovascular Disorders. Methods:A descriptive cross-sectional study at a Hospital, Darbhanga, Bihar was conducted for 2 months on 80 diabetic patients {47 men, 33 women} aged between 18–75 years. Patients were stratified on the Waist to Height Ratio criteria {>0.6 vs. <0.6} and interrelations between the Waistline measurement–related parameters and blood pressure were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation. Results:Patients with WHtR {>0.6} had higher BMI, Waistline Measurement, Systolic, Diastolic, Mean blood pressure levels, and Hba1c levels. Hypertension prevalence was 51% in the WHtR {>0.6} group versus 32% in the WHtR {<0.6} group. BMI showed a strong association with WHtR {r = 0.692, p <0.001}, and both BMI {r = 0.419, p <0.001} and WHtR {r = 0.327, p = 0.006} showed moderate interrelation with systolic blood pressure. Conclusion:Both BMI and Waistline Measurement can be predominantly determined with the elevation of Arterial blood pressure in Type II diabetic patients, where BMI showed slightly higher determinative strength, while Waistline measurements offered an acceptable alternative for clinical and research purposes.
