Blood pressure and obesity among rural indigenous population of Yakutia
Abstract
The frequency of hypertension and obesity in a sample of the rural indigenous population (457 people aged 20 years and older) of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) was studied. It was found that 40% of the surveyed population had arterial hypertension. Obesity was revealed in 14% of males and 19% of females, abdominal obesity in 42 and 55%, respectively. Blood pressure level positively correlates with body mass index and the waist circumference. Information content of these indicators at identifying individuals with high risk of hypertension did not differ. The prevalence of abdominal type of obesity requires the study of its contribution to morbidity and mortality from chronic non-communicable diseases, constitutional features of a given population and the subsequent possible development of specific ethnic criteria for obesity.
