Abstract

Introduction: anthropometry offers cost-effective tools for the detection of obesity, identifying risks for the development of hypertension.

Objective: to assess anthropometrically the nutritional status of hypertensive patients belonging to Doctor’s Office No-17, Raul Sanchez polyclinic, Pinar del Rio municipality, during the period from November 2018 to July 2021.

Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with a target group of 209 hypertensive patients, the variables were: age, sex, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist hip index, waist height index, skin folds, body fat percentage, eating habits and sedentary lifestyle were studied, a database was made and the statistical processing of all variables was performed.

Results: of the 143 hypertensive patients studied, 35 were obese (24,47 %) according to BMI. Female sex predominated (71,43 %), age group between 50 - 65 (51,43 % group I vs. 38,89 group II), inadequate eating habits (82,86 %) and sedentary lifestyle (100 %), showing a direct relationship with obesity. The body fat percentage allowed 7 new patients whose BMI was below 30 to be classified as obese.

Conclusions: the study showed a high incidence of overweight and obesity among patients suffering from hypertension, demonstrating a direct relationship between certain risk factors and the development of the disease.
