UTICAJ POVEĆANE TJELESNE TEŽINE ZA NASTANAK KRVNOG PRITISKA (ARTERIJSKE HIPERTENZIJE)
IMPACT OF OVERWEIGHT ON THE OCCURRENCE OF BLOOD PRESSURE (ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION)

Summary/Abstract: Obesity is of one of the most important contemporary health problem, which has a global character of the epidemic measures worldwide. The prevalence of obesity of 10-40% is significantly increasing across Europe. Increase in the number of obese people who suffer from arterial hypertension, also significantly increases the material costs of health care (treatment, rehabilitation, compensation for permanent disability). We have analysed medical records from the General Services of the Hospital in Velika Kladuša during the PAT training program. Patients who suffer from Arterial Hypertension in the age from 19 to 65 were examined, and we have stated a Hypothesis „whether there is a relationship of cause and effect between elevated BMI and Arterial Hypertension as a disease." Research Hypothesis: BMI (Body Mass Index) greater than 27 is directly linked to the high blood pressure and development of diseases such as Hypertension.
