Statistical Model of Effects of Overweight on Patients with High Blood Pressure Case Study University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital

This project work is aimed at investigating whether there is a relationship between weight and blood pressure of patients with high blood pressure.

Background of the Study

The number of people with high blood pressure is in the increase and research has shown that this condition is heightened by overweight of the patient. That is to say, the more one increases in weight, the higher the tendency of him or her becoming hypertensive. Mori TA (2007).

In essence, there is a symbolic relationship between being over-weight and being hypertensive or having high blood pressure. It is in the interest of people who are likely to develop high blood pressure (over-weight people) to seek out ways of managing their weight, as this research work will try to bring out the effects of weight on such people with high blood pressure. What seems unresolved here is the extent to which weight affect people suffering from high blood pressure. Many writersâ€™ views will be examined in the cause of this work to help resolve the issue at stake.

Over-weight here will be described or rather defined based on a calculation called â€œBody mass indexâ€ (BMI). According to this formular, one is regarded as over-weight if his BMI is greater than 25. Mancia G. (2007). High blood pressure on the other hand occurs when oneâ€™s blood move through the arteries at a higher speed than normal. It is also known that for now there is no cure for high blood pressure. Papadakis A, Macphere J. (2008).
