Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure. pulse pressure between urban and rural population. The current investigation was carried out at the Department of Physiology, including a total of 150 participants from both urban and rural regions. Following the acquisition of ethical approval, participants within the age range of 20‐60 years were chosen. A comparison was made between the systolic blood pressure of the rural and urban population using a F‐test, resulting in a p‐value of 0.46. The diastolic blood pressure of both rural and urban populations was compared and analyzed using a F‐test, yielding a p‐value of 0.0032. A comparison of the pulse pressure between the rural and urban populations was conducted using a F‐test, yielding a p‐value of 0.036. A comparison was made between the mean arterial pressure of the rural and urban population using a F‐test, yielding a p‐value of 0.0007. The prevalence of obesity and overweight is much higher in urban areas as compared to rural areas. The urban population exhibits markedly greater systolic blood pressure (S.B.P.) diastolic blood pressure (D.B.P.) mean arterial pressure (M.A.P.) and pulse pressure (P.P.) compared to the rural population. Urban men and girls have a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to their rural counterparts. These findings unequivocally demonstrate that urban inhabitants have a heightened susceptibility to cardiovascular disease.
