Hypertension and obesity are the leading causes of deaths in the twenty first century. Life style and rapid urbanization has greatly impacted the working of cardiovascular system. Present cross-sectional study has been conducted on 300 rural females residing in different areas of Punjab (Amritsar, Ferozepur, Faridkot, Moga, Mukatsar, Bathinda, Patiala, Ludhiana) ranging in age from 50 to 80 years and were examined anthropometrically for gross body measurements (height and weight), waist circumference and hip circumference. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured using sphygmomanometer. The mean values for Height (cm), Body Weight (Kg), Waist Circumference, Hip circumference, BMI and WHR for the subjects were 154.28 +- 6.28 cm, 60.72 +- 12.45 kg, 88.87 +- 11.4 cm, 89.05 +- 11.08 cm, 25.46 +- 4.7kg/m2, 0.99 +- 0.03, whereas Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (mmHg), were 132.49 +- 16.67mmHg , 86.39 +- 10.48 mm Hg, respectively. It has been found that 28.66% women fall under normal range of BMI, 3.33% women were in lower than normal range and 50.33% were under the grade-1-overweight, 17% under the grade-2-overweight and 0.66% under the grade-3- overweight, categories. In all, 52.99% women have WHR values < 1 and 47% women have WHR values >= to 1, elucidating that they are at higher risk for adverse health consequences such as hypertension, CVD etc. Women showing normal range of SBP and DBP are 41.33% and 43%, respectively. Approximately 53% women have systolic blood pressure and 45% have diastolic blood pressure values under various grades of hypertension.
