Research was conducted in urban and rural areas of the city Telavi in 2012-2013. 493 public school pupils aged 6-18 were studied (267-urban resident, 226-rural resident). Results are grouped separately for all (13) aging clusters. This indicator is compared to each other by sex and living area (urban/rural) and received results are then grouped for 3 aging groups: I - early childhood 6-8 years of age n=136 (boys - 71, girls - 65; II - middle childhood 9 - 11 years of age n=147 (boys - 82, girls - 65) and III - adolescence 12-18 years of age n=213 (boys - 98, girls - 115). Measurements were taken on the right arm, three times with 3 minutes intervals. Both rural and urban area resident children's (boys, girls) SAP/DAP was evaluated. Data was processed statistically by "ANOVA". To determine correlation between different study groups, parametric and nonparametric methods were used.Significance was determined with 95% of variability. Results of the comparison of systolic and diastolic blood pressure for boys and girls living in rural and urban areas demonstrated: There seems to be no significant difference between boys and girls living in urban and rural areas. The biggest difference was identified in: 1) Boys in Aging Group I - SAP rural pupil boys averagely is 5.7 mm/Hg higher compared to urban resident boys; 2) For girls in Aging Group III of rural residents, SAP is averagely 3mm/Hg higher compared to same group of urban residents. Same difference was identified in girls considering DAP data.This may be due to several reasons, such as: 1) village inhabitants are more physically active. 2) BMI of the residents living in the rural areas is lower compeard to the residents living in the citie. Our findings are in line with the results obtained in Iraq and Russia. |
