Abstract

Blood pressure in pre-pubertal and pubertal age group is now an alarming situation to health professionals worldwide. Little knowledge is still with us about how different body composition parameters correlate with blood pressure. Blood pressure (BP) correlates with various factors like weight, height, sitting height (SH) among children and adolescents in developed countries with upper-middle socio-economic society. Intention of present research work is to contrast sitting height, relative sitting height ratio (Cormic Index), biiliocristal to biacromial ratio and BMI of rural Chakma boys and girls between the age 6-16 years of Tripura, North-eastern State, with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANESIII) reference data to conclude the correlation among sitting height, relative sitting height ratio, biiliocristal-biacromial ratio and BMI with BP among Chakma children of lower socio-economic group of Tripura. A total of 1350 children (676 boys and 674 girls) of 12 government schools from Chakma community aged 6-16 years were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method of North and Dhalai district of Tripura, undergo blood pressure and anthropometric measurements using standard techniques. Multiple regression is applied for establishing the relationship between height, sitting height, relative sitting height ratio, biiliocristal-biacromial ratio and BMI with Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood presure (DBP) among these children. In comparison with NHANES III reference data, Chakma children aged 6 to 16 years showed lower mean sitting height value. In the multiple regression analysis, sitting height is positively associated with systolic BP (β=0.893; 95% Ci=0.964-0.966) and diastolic BP (β=0.505; 95% Ci=0.935-0.938) in both the sexes. The results of present research work is statistically significant for both sitting height and cormic index with systolic BP (β=0.650; 95% Ci=0.963-0.970 and β=0.103; 95% Ci=0.963-0.970 respectively), whereas only sitting height remains significant with diastolic BP (β=3.519; 95% Ci=0.934-0.946) after being adjusted for age, gender and BMI among Chakma children. The present findings recommended a must large population based research work after being adjusted for factors like dietary habits, athletic performance, salt intake, socio-economic status etc. for accurate estimation of predominance of hypertension among North-eastern children and adolescents. Significant positive association was found between systolic and diastolic blood pressure together with the height, sitting height, relative sitting height ratio among studied population.

AB  - Blood pressure in pre-pubertal and pubertal age group is now an alarming situation to health professionals worldwide. Little knowledge is still with us about how different body composition parameters correlate with blood pressure. Blood pressure (BP) correlates with various factors like weight, height, sitting height (SH) among children and adolescents in developed countries with upper-middle socio-economic society. Intention of present research work is to contrast sitting height, relative sitting height ratio (Cormic Index), biiliocristal to biacromial ratio and BMI of rural Chakma boys and girls between the age 6-16 years of Tripura, North-eastern State, with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANESIII) reference data to conclude the correlation among sitting height, relative sitting height ratio, biiliocristal-biacromial ratio and BMI with BP among Chakma children of lower socio-economic group of Tripura. A total of 1350 children (676 boys and 674 girls) of 12 government schools from Chakma community aged 6-16 years were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method of North and Dhalai district of Tripura, undergo blood pressure and anthropometric measurements using standard techniques. Multiple regression is applied for establishing the relationship between height, sitting height, relative sitting height ratio, biiliocristal-biacromial ratio and BMI with Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood presure (DBP) among these children. In comparison with NHANES III reference data, Chakma children aged 6 to 16 years showed lower mean sitting height value. In the multiple regression analysis, sitting height is positively associated with systolic BP (β=0.893; 95% Ci=0.964-0.966) and diastolic BP (β=0.505; 95% Ci=0.935-0.938) in both the sexes. The results of present research work is statistically significant for both sitting height and cormic index with systolic BP (β=0.650; 95% Ci=0.963-0.970 and β=0.103; 95% Ci=0.963-0.970 respectively), whereas only sitting height remains significant with diastolic BP (β=3.519; 95% Ci=0.934-0.946) after being adjusted for age, gender and BMI among Chakma children. The present findings recommended a must large population based research work after being adjusted for factors like dietary habits, athletic performance, salt intake, socio-economic status etc. for accurate estimation of predominance of hypertension among North-eastern children and adolescents. Significant positive association was found between systolic and diastolic blood pressure together with the height, sitting height, relative sitting height ratio among studied population.
