Anthropometric markers and their cut-off point for the prediction of hypertension with lifestyle as a risk factor among Chiru tribe of North East India
It has been concluded that BMI, WC, WHR, and WHtR values can determine hypertension risk in the Chiru population. Age, smoking, physical activity, and salt intake were independent risk factors associated with high blood pressure
Influences of Age, Sex and Raised Body Mass Index on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among Tribal Adults of India

A Cross-sectional study on blood pressure and obesity among rural adults of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India
Background. Obesity is considered a major health problem in both developed and developing coun-tries. Both hypertension and obesity are accountable for the increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and often they occur together. The objective of the present study was to know the prevalence of overall obesity (BMI≥25.0) and hypertension among rural adults. The present study determined the age trend on obesity and hypertension among…
Central obesity and hypertension among rural adults of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India
Obesity is generally classified into generalized obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and abdominal or central obesity (WC ≥90 cm for men and WC ≥80 cm for women) based on World Health Organization recommendation for Asians. Hypertension is one of the most common obesity-related complications, and about 30% of hypertensive individuals can be classified as being obese. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different age groups (years) on the ant…
Variation in lip print pattern between two ethnic groups, Oraon tribals and Bengalee Hindus, residing in West Bengal, India
Lip print pattern (LPP) is unique to each individual. For decades, forensic experts have used LPP for personal identification to solve criminal cases. However, studies investigating ethnic variation in LPP are scanty. Our study wanted to investigate variation in LPP between two ethnic groups, Oraon tribals and Bengalee Hindus, residing in West Bengal, India. A total of 280 participants included 112 Oraons and168 Bengalee Hindus of both. Prints we…
