چکیده
The present study was done on 1200 young adult unmarried females belonging to age group 18-35 years residing in Haryana and Punjab region. The study was done on subjects of two sects of these two regions, i.e. Jat and Baniya. Present study was undertaken to study the correlation of anthropometric measurements in young unmarried females with blood pressure and to find out effectiveness of anthropometric indicators as predictors of high blood pressure. A positive correlation of weight, BMI, WC, WHR and WHtR with SBP & DBP was observed and it was found to be highly significant. In the present study it was found that BMI, WC, WHR and WHtR can be used as predictors of blood pressure in Haryana and Punjab region. When seen specifically in endogamous groups, WC was found to be stronger predictor of DBP in Punjabi Baniya females with variance of 25% and in Haryanvi Baniya with variance of 10%. BMI showed strong predicting power in Punjabi Baniya females for SBP with 19% variance, while WHtR was found as strong predictor of DBP in Jat Sikh females of Punjab with 21% variance.
