Objectives: To determine the frequency of pre-hypertension among various blood groups of medical students. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Aziz Fatima Medical and Dental College Faisalabad, Pakistan. A hundred medical students aged 18 to 25 were enrolled from first year to final year MBBS by convenience sampling technique. Blood pressure was measured by auscultatory method and blood groups were determined by conventional slide method. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 25. Basic characteristics of the studied population are presented as mean and standard deviation (age, height, weight, and blood pressure). Categorical variables like prehypertension are analyzed as dichotomous variables and are expressed as frequencies and percentages. Proportions were compared using the Chi-square test. p=0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: The study revealed that blood group B was the most common blood group followed by O blood group. While AB blood group is the least common blood group in our study. Of the total population pre-hypertension was found in 56(55.4%). Prehypertension was most frequently found in subjects with blood group A (71.4%) whereas least commonly found in subjects having blood group B. Conclusion: Blood group B was the most common blood group of our studied population. Prehypertension is commonly found in subjects with blood group A. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
