Abstract
The Paundra Kshatriya, a peri-urban population, of South 24-Parganas, West Bengal, was studied to examine the relationship of blood pressure with age. Altogether, 240 adults (male: 98; female: 142) were studied. Both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (mm Hg) were found to be more among females than among males in different age groups. A gradual increase in SBP and DBP was evident with the advancement of age among both males and females. The coefficient of correlation values depicts a positive relationship between age and SBP as well as age and DBP in both genders.
