    Objectives: Increase in body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (BP). Several studies also indicate that high BP is associated with age. Controversies have been found regarding the association of BMI with high BP and age. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the association between BP, BMI, and age. Material and Methods: Using the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR 131103) Study on the Effects of Mindfulness on Lifestyle Behavior and BP, prospectively gathered data were retrospectively analyzed. A randomized controlled study was conducted. Using the statistical MedCalc program, the patient demographic data – including their age, BMI, and BP – were statistically examined. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 P-value. Results: Of the 37 participants, 43.3% had a normal BMI. One-fourth (40.5%) of the people were obese. 13.5% and 32.4% of the people had normal systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP, respectively. Age, SBP, or DBP did not significantly correlate with BMI. Nevertheless, there was a positive and substantial correlation between BMI, age, SBP, DBP, weight, and height. Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, there are no appreciable positive connections between BMI and either SBP or DBP, or age. However, the weakly positive relationships between SBP and DBP and age suggest that regular BP monitoring is necessary.

    Correlation between Body Mass Index and Lipid Profile among Healthy Adults: Analysis of ICPSR-based data
    (East African Medical Association, 2023) Odeigah, LO; Agede, OA; Ogunjemilua, SB; Obalowu, IA; Mutalub, YB
    Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased in the majority of developing countries notwithstanding the considerable incidence of undernutrition. The elevated lipid levels associated with obesity may lead to a variety of metabolic and cardiovascular problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the association between body mass index and lipid profiles in healthy adults (BMI). Methods: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, its risk factors, and the related lifestyle in adult Myanmar citizens were examined in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Study (ICPSR146521) using data that had been obtained prospectively. The patient's lipid profiles, and demographic data were statistically analyzed using the statistical MedCalc tool. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 p-value. Results: A total of 32 subjects, ranging in age from 18 to 90, were examined. Of the individuals, 48.34% were of normal weight, 32.12% were obese, and 19.54% were overweight. 79.66% of the participants who were obese belonged to the class 1 category. A high TG level, a high LDL level, a high total cholesterol level, and a low HDL level were present in 33.11%, 58.28%, 40.40%, and 6.29% of the individuals, respectively. Conclusion: Body mass index had a positive correlation with TG levels and a negative correlation with age. As a result, as BMI rises, TG levels rise as well, but BMI falls as age rises. Age and TC levels have a positive correlation; as a result, TC levels rise with age.

    Interplay between Lipid Profile and Weight-Related Outcomes in Healthy Overweight Adults: In-sights from Comprehensive Analyses
    (Faculty of Basic Medical and Clinical Sciences, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, 2023-08-28) Odeigah, LO; Agede, OA; Ogunjemilua, SB; Obalowu, IA; Mutalub, YB
    Background: The escalating prevalence of overweight and obesity has heightened concerns about cardiovascu-lar health. The intricate interplay between lipid profile variables and weight-related outcomes plays a pivotal role in shaping cardiovascular risks among individuals with excess body weight. This study investigates the associa-tions between lipid profile variables and weight-related indicators in a cohort of healthy, overweight adults, shedding light on potential implications for cardiovascular risk management. Methods: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, risk factors, and related lifestyle in adult Myanmar citizens were examined in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Study (ICPSR146521) using prospective data. The patient's lipid profiles and demographic data were statistically analyzed using the statistical MedCalc tool. Statistical significance was determined using a 0.05 p-value. Results: Results demonstrate that while BMI is influenced by multiple factors beyond lipid profile variables, waist circumference exhibits moderate association with these variables. Notably, triglycerides significantly cor-related with waist circumference, suggesting a potential role in visceral fat accumulation. Additionally, the study highlights the impact of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels on body weight, indicating that higher HDL levels are associated with lower body weights among healthy overweight adults. Conclusion: This study provides comprehensive insights into the complex relationship between lipid profile variables and weight-related outcomes among healthy, overweight adults. These findings underscore the im-portance of weight management strategies for cardiovascular health and suggest potential avenues for targeted interventions. By understanding the interplay between lipid profiles and obesity, clinicians and public health professionals can develop more effective strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risks in this demographic.
