Objective: Our study aimed to determine the association between overweight and obesity with hypertension among young adults. Design and method: This study included a total of 200 adults (85 men and 115 women) aged between 18-30. Anthropometric measurements and blood pressure were measured using standard procedures. Statistical methods such as Chi-square and Binary logistic regression were used. Results: The prevalence of BMI (Overweight+ obese) was 48% (52.1% males & 47.9% females) while hypertension was 23% (51.1% males & 48.9% females) in the studied population. The binary logistic regression, in terms of OR and coefficient analysis, revealed that high BMI is significantly associated with a 2-fold increased risk for hypertension (OR 2.044, 95% CI = 1.046-3,933). To understand the relationship between height & weight with blood pressure, the sample was stratified for BMI. In BMI cohorts’ height is inversely associated with BP, but in some BMI cohorts (25-28) height is showing a significant positive association with BP. in some BMI cohorts’ weight is positively associated with blood pressure Conclusions: This study shows a high prevalence of obesity and hypertension among young adults, males were more obese and hypertensive as compared to females. The risk of obesity and hypertension in young individuals requires urgent awareness.
