北方海域海员体重指数及其与血压的关系

Body mass index and its relation to blood pressure in warship personnel in the Yellow Sea and nearby sea waters

目的 调查我国北方海域部分海员的体重指数 (BMI)及其与血压的关系。方法 对 4 12 0名北方海域海员按统一标准测量血压 ,同时测量身高、体重 ,计算体重指数。结果 (1)北方海域海员BMI(2 2 .2 5± 2 .2 9) ,显著高于 1991年全国抽样调查男性 BMI2 1.4 (P<0 .0 1)。 (2 ) BMI均值与血压均值呈正相关 (与收缩压 r=0 .95 9,P<0 .0 0 1;与舒张压 r=0 .937,P<0 .0 0 1)。 (3) BMI均值与高血压患病率呈正相关 (r=0 .936 ,P<0 .0 0 1)。 (4)超重者 (BMI≥ 2 5 )高血压患病率 (2 4 .2 1% )显著高于非超重者 (8.84 % ) (P<0 .0 0 1)。结论 北方海域海员 BMI显著偏高 ,且与高血压患病率呈正相关 。

Objective To investigate body mass index(BMI) and its relation to blood pressure in warship personnel in the Yellow Sea and nearby sea waters. Methods Blood pressure, body height and weight were measured according to an uniform standard in 4 120 warship seamen and BMI were computed. Results (1) The BMI of the warship personnel was(22.25±2.29), which was significantly higher than that of men in the national survey in 1991(21.4)( P <0 01). (2) The BMI mean value is positive related to blood pressue mean value(to systolic pressue r =0.959, P <0 001;to diastolic pressue r = 0.937 , P <0 001).(3) The BMI mean value is positively related to the prevalence rate of hypertension. (4) The prevalence rate of hypertension in the overweight group(24.21%) is significantly higher than that in the non overweight group (8.84%) ( P <0 001). Conclusions The BMI of warship personnel in the Yellow Sea and nearby sea waters is significantly high and is positively related to the prevalence rate of hypertension.
