Abstract

Objective To understand blood pressure status, prevalence of hypertension and its association with body mass index among college students. Methods Freshmen and sophomores from a university were recruited. After measuring blood pressure, height and weight, we calculated the body mass index based on height and weight, analyzed the prevalence of hypertension, the level of prevalence among different genders, and the effect of body mass index on hypertension. Results A total of 4873 students were investigated. The detection rate of hypertension was 13.7%, which among boys (20.5%) was higher than girls(3.4%). BMI was associated with the levels of SBP and DBP(r values was 0.424 and 0.359 respectively, both of P values were less than 0.001). The detection rate of hypertension increased with BMI(χ2=538.003,P<0.001. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension among college students was at a high level. There were significant gender differences in prevalence of hypertension, and body mass index was positively correlated with prevalence of hypertension.
