Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of various anthropometric indices in prediction of hypertension risk in primigravidae. METHODS: In this cross-sectional survey, ۱۸۳ primigravidae who had referred to health care centers in Rasht (Iran) were recruited at their first antenatal visits. Using standardized methods, the researchers determined the weights, heights, waist to hip ratio (WHR), and waist circumferences (WC) of all women. Body mass index (BMI) was then calculated as weight divided by height squared. Data was analyzed with SPSS۱۷. Step-wise linear regression models were fitted for systolic and diastolic blood pressure as dependent variables and BMI, WHR, WC as independent variables. RESULTS: The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure were ۱۱۱.۲ mmHg and ۷۳.۰ mmHg, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between obesity indicators and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Linear regression models suggested that BMI, WC, and WHR were important indicators of hypertension. CONCLUSION: WC seemed to have a strong association with the risk of hypertension and preeclampsia.
