Table 5 Comparison of Random Blood Sugar and blood pressure measurements among the different groups of obesity (NWO and obese group)
Variables | Non-obese (NO) n (%) (n = 159) | Normal weight obese n (%) (NWO)(n = 144) | Obese (OB) n (%) (n = 129) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean random plasma glucose mg/dl (SD) | 180 ± 80 | 290 ± 110 | 260 ± 90 | 0.001* |
Mean systolic blood pressure mm of Hg (SD) | 122.5 ± 19.5 | 148.8 ± 25.4 | 136.5 ± 19.9 | 0.001* |
Mean diastolic blood pressure, mm of Hg (SD) | 78.6 ± 36.6 | 98.5 ± 55.6 | 88.4 ± 44.6 | 0.001* |
Hypertension, n (%) | 24(15) | 88(61) | 66(51) | 0.001(NO Vs NWO) * 0.001(NO Vs OB) * 0.09(NWO Vs OB) * |
Pre-Hypertension, n (%) | 66(41) | 54(37) | 52(40) | 0.49(NO Vs NWO) 0.83(NO Vs OB) 0.63(NWO Vs OB) |
No-Hypertension, n (%) | 69(43) | 2(1.4) | 11(8.5) | 0.001(NO Vs NWO) * 0.04(NO Vs OB) * 0.001(NWO Vs OB) * |
