Sažetak
Prevalence of obesity and hypertension is increasing worldwide. Obesity and hypertension are non-communicable disease that both decrease life expectancy and quality. Goal of this paper is to establish the difference in body anthropometric data between obese people with hypertension (Group1) and obese patients without hypertension (Group 2), observe gender anthropometric differences is those two groups and compare obese individuals with healthy group (Group 3). This is a retrospective study and it was performed on 54 participants. All participants are adults between 25 and 66 years of age and members of both genders were included. 20 participants were obese patients with chronic hypertension, 20 were obese patients and 14 were healthy participants with normal BMI. Cut off line for obese patients was set at BMI ≥ 25kgm2. Data was obtained from patients attending structural educational program at the Department of Endocrinology, Internal Medicine Clinic, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia. Data has showed positive correlation between BMI and body fat mass in Group1 r=0, 93 and Group2 r=0, 69, however it was shown that obese patients with hypertension have significantly more fat mass (P<0.01). Increased fat mass was found in male population with mean difference 24, 84 kg and statistically different to females from Group 1 (P=0.02), but the fat percentage was almost the same in males and females P=0, 93. In Group2 subsection gender analysis no differences have been found. In comparison of Group3 with Group 1 and 2 it has been showed that most of anthropometric parameters differ significantly. Finding suggest that all measured parameters play a certain role in the development of obesity and hypertension.
