Among these subjects, 527 were male and 368 were female, and their age ranged from 18 to 60 years, with a mean age of 43.12 ± 9.34. They were divided into four groups, according to their blood pressure and biochemical examination results, a male healthy male group, a hypertensive male group, a healthy female group and a hypertensive female group. Their height, weight, waist and hip circumference were measured, and their body composition was analyzed to obtain data for body fat percentage and visceral fat area. The data and indexes were statistically analyzed using SPSS 18.0 statistical software, and P< 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The difference in body mass index (BMI) between the healthy population and the hypertensive population was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The difference in waist circumference between the healthy male group and the hypertensive male group was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The difference in waist-to-hip ratio between the healthy population and hypertensive population was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The difference in body fat percentage and visceral fat area between the healthy population and hypertensive population was statistically significant (P< 0.05).Conclusion: The five indexes, namely the BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat percentage, and visceral fat area, demonstrated statistically significant differences between the healthy population and the hypertensive population. However, since the evaluation results of some of the indexes also differed from available critical values, further validation is necessary.Keywords: body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, body fat percentage, visceral fat area, bioimpedanceWang RWang QDove Medical Pressarticlebody mass indexwaist circumferencewaist-hip ratiobody fat percentagevisceral fat areabioimpedanceSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 279-284 (2021)
