Abstract (type = abstract)
Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases in the adult population and is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. Numerous genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors influence the development of Hypertension. The key objective of this study is to evaluate the association of metabolic variables with Hypertension individually and with the combination of co-factors (Age, BMI). The study utilizes a series of statistical procedures to achieve its objectives. Statistical Analysis was conducted using 10 Years of NHANES data from 2005 - 2014 datasets. The analysis only included an adult population of 25 years and older. Our study is in-line with studies which support that Hypertension is associated with the characteristic variables Age and BMI. Age and BMI are common threads in many organ abnormalities. The study further continued to analyze the association of Hypertension and characteristic variables with metabolic abnormalities. Based on our statistical analysis, we determined the association between our study variables and concluded that Hypertension is interrelated with most of the metabolic abnormities. Our study results showed that Hypertensive adults are more likely to have abnormal levels of Glycohemoglobin, Total Cholesterol, Albumin, ALP, AST, ALT and Creatinine irrespective of its underlying factors. However, Hypertension has no association with Total Bilirubin. Our study and evaluation were successful in achieving its objectives. We are 95% confident that Hypertension is either the leading indicator or a cause of metabolic abnormalities in target organs.
