About this study
Official title: Prevalence of Prehypertension Among Medical Students and Association With Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Student Investigator = Thakkallapalli Zeeshan Muzahid. The study aims to assess the prevalence of prehypertension among medical students of Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, India and its association with other cardiovascular risk factors - overweight /obesity, diabetes, lipid profile.
Read the detailed description
275 medical students will be studied and a history taken and examination done with special emphasis on recording of Blood Pressure, measurement of height and weight (\& Body Mass Index) and Waist Circumference in all. Glucose Tolerance Test and Fasting Lipid profile will be measured in a random selection of 30 prehypertensives and 30 normotensives.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| prehypertensives | students will be classified as prehypertensives as per the JNC-7 (Joint National Commission) guidelines based on their Blood Pressure measurement | |
| normotensives | students will be classed as normotensives based on their BP measurement as per JNC-7 guidelines (systolic <120 AND diastolic <80) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
prevalence of prehypertension among graduate medical students
the point prevalence of prehypertension at the time of survey will be estimated - as the students were examined over two weeks
Measured: two weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
correlation between blood pressure (Prehypertension) and BMI (obesity), Blood glucose, LDL level (dyslipidemia)
correlation of prehypertension with Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference (for overweight /obesity) smoking and blood glucose levels and lipid profile - time frame was given as two weeks as that was the period during which the students were assessed
Measured: two weeks
