| Summary, etc |
It has been reported that elevated hemoglobin level increases blood viscosity. An increase in viscosity elevates the blood pressure level and disturbs the cardiovascular function. There is paucity of data on this regard in Indian context. The aim was to study the association between hemoglobin level and blood pressure among the Sunni Muslim adolescents of Lucknow City, India. This cross sectional study was conducted among 159 adolescent school children aged between 12 and 18 years from a sub urban area near Lucknow city, India. T-test was used to examine the sexual dimorphism in Hb and blood pressure levels. Furthermore, Pearson’s correlation as well as linear regression were done to evaluate the association between Hb and BP level. Result shows mean hemoglobin level (g/dL) was higher among boys 12.1 (1.6) than girls 11.4 (1.1) and this difference was statistically significant (t = 2.79; p < 0.05). The systolic blood pressure showed significant sexual dimorphism (t = 2.46, p < 0.05); only diastolic blood pressure showed significant positive correlation with hemoglobin levels in both the sexes as well as in sex combined (p < 0.05). Considering the categories i.e. anemic and non anemic individuals, the only non anemic showed positive significant correlation with systolic (r = 0.271; p < 0.05) and diastolic (r= 0.299; p < 0.05) blood pressure. We conclude from this study that significant sexual dimorphism exists in case of hemoglobin level among the adolescents and individuals with higher Hb are likely to have high blood pressure.- Reproduced |
