Abstract

Hypertension is a major public health problem all over the world along with its fatal cardiovascular complications.

Aims and Objectives: In the present study we assess the distinction of hypertension in rural and urban population in Rewa district and risk factors associated.

Materials and Methods: In this prospective randomized observational study 148 selected hypertensive patients are firstly categorized on the basis of their residence i.e. Rural/Urban then according to  level of hypertension, age, sex, family size, body mass index, family history and lastly most important distinction between  old and new patients.

Result: In the present study we found that the occurrence of hypertension is more common feature of urban rather than rural area. Multivariate factors like body mass index, Family size, Family history addiction, associated diseases are more likely to increase the event in urban area.

Conclusions: In the present study we observed that hypertension is more common in urban in comparison with rural population.   It is due to stressful, exhausting and tedious life of urban people than rural areas where life is hard working with limited ambitions. This can be reduced by providing socio-economically healthy life to the society.

Keywords: Rural, Urban, Hypertension.
