Background and Aims: We investigated the association of anthropometric measurements with lipid profile in adult hypertensive patients with normal weight and overweight including obesity. Materials and Method: This was a randomized study performed in Tiaret, Algeria, on 150 hypertensive patients aged 33-91 years. Patients were divided according to their body weight (normal weight vs. overweight and obesity) into two groups. Weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were measured to estimate the various categories of body weight. The blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and lipid profile (total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and triglycerides (TG) were analyzed. Results: We found significant relations between body weight and blood pressure. Patients with normal weight had a normal blood pressure. However, a significant increase in blood pressure was observed in patients with overweight and obesity. Numerous significant relationship were disclosed for TC and LDL-c. Conclusion: Lipid profile is related with weight status in hypertensive overweight/obese patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
