Elevated blood pressure is now recognized globally as a major public health burden. The objective of the present study was to understand the associations of obesity measures with blood pressure and hypertension in adult Bengali women of West Bengal, India. The present cross-sectional study includes 450 adult Bengalee premenopausal women. Anthropometric measurement includes height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures were obtained. Body mass index and waist hip ration were calculated. Statistical analysis includes correlation, linear and logistic regression. There was a significant positive correlation of anthropometric variables with both blood pressures. WC explained 12% and 14% of variance of SBP and DBP, respectively. However, logistic regression analysis revealed that overweight and obese women were more than three times (OR, 3.24) more likely to be hypertensive than those who were normal weight.
