Abstract
Hypertension was examined among the Bhatra residing in a village of Bastar district, Chhattisgarh. Frequency of normotension was found to be comparatively lower among the females (73.86%) than the males (83.75%). But in case of mild hypertension a reverse trend was perceptible (females: 25%; males: 11.25%). Occurrence of moderate and severe hypertension was slightly higher among the males (3.75%) than their counterpart (1.14%). However, the females suffer more due to hypertension than the males in Bhatra population. Reasons behind the higher frequency of hypertension among the Bhatra females were due to high pulse rate, low height, low body weight and BMI.
