A STUDY ON HYPERTENSION AND OBESITY IN EARLY ADULT FEMALES

Abstract

Obesity and hypertension are becoming prevalent among young adults and adolescents
in India. The increase in this phenomenon is attributed to alterations in dietary patterns,
such as the greater use of processed food, as well as a sedentary way of life.
Hypertension that begins during childhood or adolescence persists into maturity. The
objective of this study was to determine the frequency of obesity and hypertension
among females between the ages of 18 and 20.
