Brief Summary:
Hypertension has been a serious problem among people from different ages in the last few decades, so by taking this in consideration we decided to search for specific risk factors that cause hypertension in young healthy adults, and to achieve that we are looking for pre-hypertension, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle among this group by using different scale tools and questionnaires.
Detailed Description:
Hypertension has been a serious issue worldwide and there is a wide variety of content in literature regarding its risks, treatment modalities, and disease course. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the "pre-hypertension" state, which is the pre-step of hypertension, and to find its risk in young adults. While screening literature we found the incidence of pre-hypertension to be between 17% and 49% in individuals aged 18-30 years. However, study methods have generally been limited to blood pressure and anthropometric measurements. In our study, a holistic research will be carried out with different scales and questionnaires by enriching the method part.
The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of prehypertension, sedentary life and obesity in healthy young adults aged 18-25, and then to determine the relationship between these risk factors. 382 young adults will be included in this study. Blood pressure will be measured with a sphygmomanometer, subcutaneous fat tissue with a caliper, height with a height measurement device, waist and hip circumference with a tape measure, and body weight with a scale, BMI (body mass index) and double product will be recorded according to the data received by doing specific calculations. Participant's physical activity status will be evaluated with the International Physical Activity Scale and Leisure Activity Scale, dietary habits with the Dutch Eating Habits Questionnaire, sleep status with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire, and psychosocial status with the Perceived Stress Scale and Beck Depression Scale.
