Abstract

Heritability of Blood Pressure Among Random Adult Individuals of South Indian States

Highlights

In today’s world, an alarming threat for mortality and morbidity in individuals caused due to myocardial infarction, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is an elevation in Blood Pressure. (P P Majumder et al, 1990; A Nirmala et al, 1992; P Majumder et al., 1994; Dayananda and Murthy, 2009; Alwan et al, 2015)
Our main objective is to estimate the amount of genetic determination of blood pressure taking into account the resemblance and variation existing between Parents and offspring
A few individuals are in the range of 140 mm Hg and above may be prone to hypertension. As such no one is hypertensive with systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mm Hg, the range was earlier suggested by P P Majumder et al, 1994

Summary

Introduction

In today’s world, an alarming threat for mortality and morbidity in individuals caused due to myocardial infarction, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is an elevation in Blood Pressure. (P P Majumder et al, 1990; A Nirmala et al, 1992; P Majumder et al., 1994; Dayananda and Murthy, 2009; Alwan et al, 2015). Hypertension is considered to be a major health concern in many countries. Measured systolic and diastolic Blood pressure in any normal healthy individual is 120 mm Hg and 80 mm Hg (M Singh et al, 2016). Increase or decrease in this measurement of blood pressure leads to significant health problems.
