Interrelationships Between Blood Glucose and Blood Pressure vis-a-vis Factors, Such as Age and Sampling Time in Urban Population of Raipur, Madhya Pradesh

Postprandial blood glucose (BG) and blood pressure, both systolic (BPS) and diastolic (BPD). were monitored in 159 human subjects. The data were obtained over two consecutive days between 03:30 and 15:30. Thereafter, subjects were grouped on the basis of age. sampling lime, levels of blood glucose and blood pressure. Of the total subjects, 21 were diabetic (13.2%), 13 hypertensive (8.18%) and 23 mild hypertensive (14.46%)i Statistically significant age and sampling time effects were established on blood glucose. Diabetic, hypertensive and mild hypertensive subjects had statistically significantly higher BG. BPS and BPD values as compared with the reactive variables in healthy human subjects However. BG in hypertensive group was not statistically significant when compared with normal subjects. BPS and BPD were found to be positively correlated with each other in all the groups except mild hypertensive subjects in normal subject alone blood glucose was found to be age-dependent. It was observed that in mild hypertensive subject. BPD increased with the age and in the same subjects BG and BPS were positively correlated with each other The results of the present study appear to have clinical significance
