Introduction: Risk of metabolic syndrome is 2-3 times more in persons with high visceral fat. Increased accumulation of visceral fat is associated with hypertension in adults, children and adolescents. Aims: The present study was undertaken to check association of visceral fat with blood pressure in Indian adolescents of 18-19 years of age group. Methodology: Our study was conducted on 120 healthy Indian adolescents (60 males and 60 females) of 18-19 years of age group from various colleges in vicinity of Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Gujarat, India after their voluntary consent. Body visceral fat was recorded by bioelectrical impedance technique using Omron HBF-302 body fat analyzer. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured by Omron T8 (HEM757A4-C1) Automatic Blood Pressure instrument by following all standard precautions. Results: All participants were divided into two groups on the basis of their visceral fat. Participants with visceral fat 0 to 9 were categorized as normal visceral fat group and participants with visceral fat ≥ 10 were categorized as high visceral fat group. In high visceral fat Indian adolescents, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) & mean arterial pressure (MAP) were more and statistically significant than low visceral fat Indian adolescents. Conclusion: Visceral adiposity correlated with MAP, SBP and DBP in both gender with better correlation in females. .[Shweta P NJIRM 2017; 8(3):57-61]
