ABSTRACT

Background:

Hypertension is an iceberg disease. It remains, silent, being generally

asymptomatic during most of its course. Since hidden beneath the outward

asymptomatic appearance, the disease does immense harm to the body. It was against

this back drop of the importance of hypertension, coupled with lack of community

based studies in these subjects, i.e. in bus drivers and conductors, that prompted to

take up the present study.

Objectives:

To study the prevalence of hypertension among bus drivers and conductors of

NWKRTC in Belgaum and study its association with certain risk factors.

Methods:

Structured personal interview using questionnaire and physical examination

which includes height, weight, waist, hip measurements and blood pressure recording

was done.

Results:

The prevalence of hypertension among drivers was 23.8% and conductors was

14.8%.

Among drivers, hypertension was significantly associated with age,

socioeconomic status, education, religion, duration of service, job satisfaction, extra

salt and fat intake, BMI, WHR, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption and among

conductors, it was significantly associated with age, socioeconomic status, duration of

service, job satisfaction, extra salt intake, BMI, WHR, tobacco smoking, smokeless

tobacco use and alcohol consumption.

Interpretation and Conclusion:

Considering the prevalence of hypertension among drivers and conductors and

its association with risk factors, necessary preventive measures need to be promoted.

More studies need to be done to identify the role of known and unknown factors in

blood pressure variations in this community.

Key words: Hypertension; Risk factors; NWKRTC; Drivers; Conductors.

INTRODUCTION

Hypertension represents one of the most formidable dilemma, the world has

faced in modern times. It is an ubiquitous disorder. The importance of this chronic

condition needs no emphasis due to its role in causation of coronary heart disease,

stroke and other vascular complications. It is one of the major risk factors for

cardiovascular mortality, which accounts for 20-50% of all deaths.1

Hypertension is an interesting disease entity of its own. It remains silent, being

generally asymptomatic, during most of its clinical course. The disease does immense

harm to the body in the form of “target organ” (end organ) damage. Hence it has been

given the term “silent killer”.2

Although hypertension is a major risk factor for many diseases, there are many

risk factors for hypertension it self. Some of these are nonmodifiable but a large

number of them are easily modifiable by appropriate life style modifications.1

Prevalence estimates from several parts of world indicate that high blood pressure is

an important public health problem of global dimensions. The total number of

hypertensive cases worldwide is estimated to be more than 69 million and prevalence

wise it ranks fourth.3

Hypertension is emerging as a major health problem even in developing

countries including India. It has been reported by the Indian council of medical

research, as the second most common cardiac problem encountered in clinical practice

in India.4 From the various epidemiological studies in India, it is estimated that there

would be approximately 50 million cases in India, with prevalence of 2.3% to 15.4%

at the beginning of next millennium.5

Introduction

2

Hypertension is one of the diseases of occupational origin. It is ranked fifth

amongst the ten most important categories of occupational illness. As per the report of

National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health USA, the percentage of

hypertensives increases more when selected occupational groups are screened.6

Transport personnel particularly the bus drivers and conductors are one such

group who are at risk of developing hypertension due to nature of their profession.

They form one of the largest groups employing personnel of different caste and creed,

various age groups, subjected to severe stress and strain, having irregular hours of

duty , having habits like smoking, alcohol etc. Once they develop hypertension they

are prone to develop coronary heart disease and stroke putting them and their road

users to risk.

There are many studies conducted in western countries in drivers and

conductors. But these studies were not conducted specifically on hypertension but on

coronary risk factors in general and covering hypertension as a part thereof.7,8,9 Also

very few studies have been conducted in bus drivers and conductors in Indian context.

Hence there is need to enquire into the prevalence, distribution and

determinants of hypertension in the community setting of bus drivers and conductors.

It was against this backdrop of importance of hypertension, coupled with lack of

community based studies in this subject in bus drivers and conductors, that prompted

us to take up the present study.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE:

The ancient Chinese appeared to have some understanding of circulation,

Huang ti, the yellow emperor had quoted “ The blood current flows continuously in a

circle and never stops…… the heart influences the force and fills the pulse with

blood………. if too much salt is used in the food, the pulse hardens”.10

Ancient Egyptians recognized the pulse and heart. Some information was also

known to Greeks about the heart and vascular dynamics as early as 600 BC. 10

The Ayurvedic texts dating back to 1000 BC have described “ Sira Kanchan

and Pooruta” as tension of blood rising from within due to provocation and

constriction of arterioles and venules.11

Hippocrates (460-370 BC), the father of medicine, changed the destiny of

medicine by raising it to a status of science. He stressed on the medical examination

including pulse.12

Though the disease was believed to exist since antiquity it was possible to

recognize it only after the discovery of a devise to measure it. William Harvey and

Lennaec discovered blood circulation in 1616 and stethoscope in 1819 respectively.

Stephen Hales an English clergyman, first measured intraarterial pressure by

inserting a long glass tube inside the crural artery of a horse12. This manometer was

further improved up by Carl Ludwig, who attached a float and writer to it, providing

one of the earliest methods of graphic recording of pulse and blood pressure 13.

The modern day inflatable cuff was developed by Riva Rocci who introduced

pneumatic cuff which was further modified by Von Reckling Hausen14.

Review of Literature

The auscultatory technique for indirect measurement of blood pressure was

introduced by Nicholai Korotokoff.12

An association of renal disease with fullness and hardness of pulse was shown

by Richard Bright. Harry Goldblatt also demonstrated the role of kidney in the genesis

of hypertension by his experiments14.

Since 1939, American Heart association has been publishing guidelines for

standardization of blood pressure measurement techniques11.

The WHO has been concerned with hypertension since 1950. Expert

committees on hypertension were convened in 1958, 1961, 1978 and recent one in

1994. The latest committee reviewed the epidemiology of hypertension in order to

increase the awareness particularly in developing countries to analyze the experience

gained by community control programmes and to discuss options for prevention and

management strategies15.

DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION:

Definition:

Various International health agencies and experts have worked from time to

time on the question of developing a definition and classification of hypertension.

One of the earlier definition stated that “blood pressure is distributed in a typical bell

shaped curve within the overall population. The relationship between arterial pressure

and mortality is quantitative, the higher the pressure, the worse the prognosis. The

dividing line is in fact nothing more than an artefact”.14

Page 34: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

6

Another conceptual definition of hypertension is given as “ the level at which

benefits (minus the risk and costs of action) exceed the risks and costs (minus the

benefit) of inaction”.15

Few authors have defined it as that level of blood pressure at which detection

and treatment do more good than harm.16

Until recently, there was no unanimity about the level of arterial pressure to

be considered as normal and high. Uniformity was achieved after publication of a

WHO report on proper measurement techniques of BP and criteria for diagnosis of

hypertension in 1959, after which a systolic BP>160 and /or diastolic BP>95mmHg

were considered abnormal. The current definition of hypertension according to WHO,

is the level of systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or above, or a level of diastolic

blood pressure of 90 mmHg or above.15

Joint National Committee VI and European working group on hypertension

adopted similar definition.17

Classification:

Though all classification of hypertension are based on arbitrary choices,

arterial hypertension may be classified based on 3 factors.

a) Blood pressure

b) Extent of damage to the organs

c) Etiology

a) Blood Pressure:

Since 1977, a series of formulations have been suggested by the Joint

National committee (JNC). JNC-I18, 19 classified hypertension by diastolic blood

pressure only and did not include systolic blood pressure. In JNC-II, hypertension was

classified as mild, moderate or severe. JNC-III introduced “high normal” for those

with diastolic BP of 85-89 mmHg. No further changes were suggested in JNC-IV.

JNC-V (1993) on detection, evaluation and treatment of high blood pressure used the

term “stage” to categorize the severity of hypertension and classified hypertension in

four stages. It used cut off point as 140 mmHg for systolic and 90 mmHg for diastolic

BP.

The Joint National Committee in its 6th report (JNC-VI) has reclassified

hypertension in 3 stages instead of 4 and gave the following classification of

hypertension for adults of age 18 years and above 17 (Table I).

Category Systolic BP (in mmHg)

Diastolic BP (in mmHg)

Optimal <120 and <80

Normal <130 and <85

High normal 130-139 or 85-89

Hypertension

Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99

Stage 2 160-179 or 100-109

Stage 3 >180 or >110

(when the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) falls into

different categories, the higher category should be selected to classify the individuals

blood pressure status)

The following are criteria suggested by WHO expert committee in 1996. 15

Category Systolic BP (in mmHg)

Diastolic BP (in mmHg)

Normotension <140 and <90

Mild hypertension 140-180 or 90-105

Subgroup-Borderline 140-160 or 90-95

Moderate and severe hypertension

>180 or >105

Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH)

>140 and <90

Sub GP – Borderline ISH 140-160 and <90

Since the blood pressure is quite variable, before declaring a person as

hypertensive and deciding to start treatment, it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis

by repeated measurements of blood pressure over a period of several weeks.15

b) Extent of Organ damage:

This classification uses “stages” to indicate the progression of the severity of

disease with time, which varies from one individual to another depending on many

influences. The stages of hypertension are as follows.1

a) Stage I: No objective signs of organic changes

b) Stage II: At least one of the following signs of organ involvement is present

i. Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

ii. Generalised and focal narrowing of retinal arteries

iii. Microalbuminuria Proteinuria and/or slight elevation of plasma

creatinine (1.2-2.0 mg/dl)

iv. Ultrasound or radiological evidence of atherosclerotic plaque.

c) Stage III: Both symptoms and signs have appeared as a result of organ

damage. These include

Heart

Angina pectoris

Myocardial infarction

The raised arterial pressure has also been described to follow two different

courses, which has been called the bad and the good or the malignant and the benign.

The “malignant” phase of hypertension is characterized by neuroretinopathy and by a

rapid decline in renal function. Pressure is very high. The “benign” phase of

hypertension usually occurs in much older subjects, in whom the pressure is not as

high. There is either no retinopathy or if present without papilloedema.14

“Labile hypertension” has been described in subjects who sometimes but not

always have arterial pressures within the hypertension range.19

“Isolated Systolic hypertension” (ISH) is usually described in elderly, where

in the systolic pressure rises disproportionately as the arteries lose their compliance.

This is not innocuous and affected persons experience a two fold increase in risk of

cardiovascular disease.20

“White coat hypertension” is an interesting phenomenon which has received

attention in recent years, which is described as persistently elevated office readings

but persistently normal out of office readings. This has been found in 20-30% of

patients and has been suggested that physical examination by the physician may cause

a rise in blood pressure.19 It has been seen in a cross sectional survey in Ausburg

Germany in 1998 that this is more common in men than women and is seen to be

associated with increased prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy.21

c) Classification of hypertension by etiology:

On the basis of etiology, hypertension is divided into “primary” and

“secondary” hypertension. The specific cause remains unknown in over 95% of

subjects with hypertension. These subjects without any definable cause are said to

have primary or idiopathic or essential hypertension.15 However, several mechanisms

have been suggested like dysfunction of sympathetic nervous system, rennin

angiotension system defect, increased salt sensitivity, sodium transplant defect,

deficiency of renal vasodilators, endothelial dysfunction etc.19

In a small minority of patients in whom a specific cause can be identified, are

diagnosed as having “secondary hypertension”. The possible causes that can be

identified are - 22

A) Systolic and diastolic hypertension

a. Renal Causes – These include renal parenchymal diseases (like

glomerulonephritis, chronic nephritis, polycystic kidney disease,

diabetic nephropathy, hydronephrosis), Renovascular disorders (like

renal artery stenosis intra renal vasculitis), renin producing tumors.

b. Endocrinal causes- These include disorders like acromegaly, hypo and

hyperthyroidism, hypercalcemia, adrenal diseases (Cushings

syndrome, primary aldosteronism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia,

apparent mineralocorticoid excess, pheochromocytoma),

extramedullary chromaffin tumours and exogenous substances

including estrogen, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids,

sympathomimetics, tyramine containing foods and monoamine

oxidase inhibitors.

c. Coarctation of aorta

d. Pregnancy induced hypertension

12

e. Neurological disorders- These include raised intracranial pressure like

brain tumours, encephalitis, respiratory acidosis), sleep apnoea,

quadriplegia, acute porphyria, familial dysautonomia, lead poisoning,

Guillain – Barre syndrome.

f. Acute stress including surgery- It includes psychogenic

hyperventilation, hypoglycemia, burns, pancreatitis, alcohol

withdrawal, sickle cell crisis, post resuscitation, postoperative.

g. Increased intravascular volume

h. Alcohol and drug use

B) Systolic hypertension –

a. Increased cardiac output- Possible causes are aortic valvular

insufficiency, Arteriovenous fistula. Patent ductus arteriosus,

thyrotoxicosis, Paget’s disease of bone, Beri-Beri, hyperkinetic

circulation.

b. Rigidity of aorta

MAGNITUDE OF PROBLEM:

Hypertension is an “ice berg” disease. It became evident in early 1970’s that

only about half of the hypertensive subjects in general in most of developed countries

were aware of the condition, only half of those aware of problem, are being treated. If

this is the situation in developed countries, the proportion being treated in developing

countries would naturally be far too less.1

a) Global situation

It is now clear that hypertension has become an ubiquitous cause of

morbidity and a leading contributor to mortality in most countries.23 It has

become a staggering health problem of global dimensions. Though there is a

large body of literature estimating the prevalence of hypertension in various

parts of the world, because of the differences in definition of hypertension,

measurement methods used, observers and age structures of population, these

should be compared cautiously.15

Worldwide high blood pressure is estimated to cause 7.1 million

deaths, about 13% of the total. WHO has estimated that high blood pressure

causes 1 in every 8 deaths world wide.25 The burden of hypertension in terms

of DALY’s is 64.3 million (4.4% of the total). Of this 20% occurs in Western

Pacific region, 19% in South-East Asia region and 16% in Europe.24

When threshold values are taken as 160/95 mmHg, prevalence has

been reported to be between 10% and 20% in several adult populations. With

the currently recommended limit for hypertension of 140/90 mmHg, the

prevalence rates would be even higher.4

According to a WHO report (1996), hypertension affects some 50

million people in China, 12 million people in Brazil, 1.8 million people in

Bangladesh, 0.86 million in Thailand and 0.56 million in Srilanka.15

Hypertension Detection and Follow up programme (HDFP) revealed a

prevalence of hypertension among adults aged 39-59 years in USA as high as

25.3%.25

Page 42: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

14

There is a epidemiological shift with upward trend in developing

countries. The prevalence seems to be similar to that in European and

technically developed countries ranging from 10% to as much as 20%.26 Only

a few populations either living at high attitudes or belonging to primitive

culture like small number of ethnic groups in Pacific islands, Asia, Africa and

South America seem to have exceptionally low levels of blood pressure

control.27

b) Situation in India:

According to a WHO report (1992), it is estimated that there are likely

to be around 40 million people with hypertension in our country, if cut off

point is 140/90 mmHg 2.

Data collected from population studies in Rothak (Urban population)

and a village in Haryana showed a prevalence of hypertension as 5.9% in men

and 6.9% in females in urban population, where as in rural population it was

3.5% in males and 3.6% in females.1

In a meta analysis of prevalence of hypertension in India, it was seen

that the prevalence of hypertension is more than 10% in Bombay, Jaipur and

Delhi.28 A recent review has shown higher prevalence of hypertension among

urban adults ie, men 30% and women 33% in Jaipur, men 44%, women 45%

in Mumbai, men 31%, and women 36% in Thiruvanantapuram; 14% in men

Chennai. Among the rural population, the prevalence is 24% in men and 17%

in women in Rajasthan.29

A review of community surveys analyzing the trends in hypertension

in India, has noted an increase in the prevalence of about 30 times in urban

and about 10 times in rural population over a period of 55 years. Changing life

style factors including diet, stress, increasing population and shrinking

employment etc have been implicated for this increasing trend.29

c) Hypertension in drivers and conductors

Bus drivers and conductors in our country form one of the largest

group, employing personnel of different cast and creed. They provide

transportation for millions of people every year.6 The health condition of

public transport personnel is one of the factors playing a role in assuring safety

of passengers taking use of this transportation.30 They form a distinct group

which includes various age groups, subjected to severe stress and strain and

irregular hours of duty, having habits like smoking, alcohol etc.31

As per report of transport and general workers union in 1995, driving

is an occupation where work does not take place at a fixed location but

involves a large number of tasks associated with control of vehicle and

exposure to all hazards of a heavily trafficked environment. For the transport

personnel there has been deterioration in working conditions and this

deterioration is largely result of traffic congestion and its associated air and

noise pollution and also the pressures of maintaining a demanding schedule in

circumstances that make the task almost impossible. They also have to absorb

the failures of transport system in the form of increased stress levels, conflict

with customers and intensification of a wide range of work pressures in hostile

environment. These circumstances damage the health of drivers that is

unacceptable.32

Review of Literature

16

The environment in which the drivers spend the majority of their time

is polluted, noisy and dangerous. It is an environment over which they have no

control whatsoever and is an environment that wrecks their schedules, disrupts

their home life and makes social activities and regular breaks very hard to plan

and supplies constant hassle. To make the matters worse, they frequently bear

the brunt of criticism for problems that crop up while driving.32 In an

extensive review and synthesis of epidemiological studies at university of

California, it was consistently observed that the bus drivers have higher rates

of morbidity and absence due to illness when compared to the employees from

a wide range of other occupational groups. 9,33

In a study analyzing the health reasons for work disability among

municipal transport drivers, analysis of 940 drivers, including 788 men and

152 women during the years 1996-2000, revealed that diseases of circulatory

system form a major group of pathologies responsible for total sickness

absence and early retirement among bus drivers (43%) and tram drivers

(27%). These mainly included ischemic heart disease and hypertension.30

Another study based on Brazilian National sample household survey of health

condition in cargo and passenger road transportation industry in 2005 revealed

that, being a driver was one of the factors significantly associated with odds of

cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases.34

In a study conducted on 376 urban bus drivers in Newyork city, in

1991 it was observed that ischemic heart disease was an important cause of

mortality with proportional mortality rate of 1.73 and 1.72 in blacks and

whites respectively.35 A study conducted at Copenhagen revealed that there is

an increased incidence and prevalence of ischemic heart disease among urban

Review of Literature

17

bus drivers.8 Another study conducted in Stockholm, centre of Public Health in

Sweden in 1996, revealed an increased risk of myocardial infarction among

professional drivers. This risk was partly explained by the unfavourable life

style factors and social factors and the work environment.7

Hypertension assumes a special importance in context of drivers and

conductors where it is one of the leading causes of death, disability, hospital

stay and invalidment from service. A cross sectional study conducted to

evaluate the prevalence of hypertension in 1500 black and white male bus

drivers from the large urban transit system in US, revealed significantly

greater rates of hypertension among bus drivers as compared to the

comparison groups.36 This has been supported by a study conducted in 1997,

where data from transit vehicle operators of Sanfrancisco Muncipal Railway

and control group were used to investigate the prevalence of hypertension,

which showed an increased prevalence of hypertension (28.9%) among the

drivers who are exposed to driving for more than 20 years as compared to

28.8% in a group with no exposure.37

Not many studies have been conducted in India in this context. An

Indian study conducted in 2005 at Miraj, Maharashtra, to know the health

profile of the state transport employees, it was seen that out of 30% morbidity

among the employees, hypertension and overweight were the most common

disease conditions.38

This pattern of morbidity was more related with the type, duration of

work, lack of physical exercise, unhealthy habits and obesity. There was also a

small increase in prevalence of hypertension among long distance bus

drivers.38

Page 46: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

18

Another study conducted in 2004 at Thane, to know the health and

socio demographic profile of transport workers, observed that there is

increased prevalence of hypertension. It is associated with irregular working

hours, irregular eating habits, unhealthy habits like alcohol, smoking and

exposure to noise.31

A recent study in 2004 at Bangalore on BMTC bus drivers, revealed a

prevalence of hypertension of 16% among bus drivers aged 30 years and

above. A positive association was seen with sociodemographic determinants

like increasing age, family history and percapita income. Also various risk

factors like habit of tobacco chewing and increased body mass index were

significantly associated with hypertension.39

Hypertension as a risk factor for other diseases:

It is a known fact that hypertension is a major risk factor for coronary,

cerebrovascular, renal and peripheral vascular diseases. Higher the level of blood

pressure, more is the likelihood that various disorders will develop prematurely.

As per a WHO report (1998) in India alone, nearly 8 lakh people die of

ischaemic heart diseases and more than 6 lakh die from stroke, every year. According

to a study done by Eastern stroke and Coronary Heart disease research group in 1998,

blood pressure is an important determinant of stroke risk and population wide

reduction of 3 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure eventually reduce the number of

strokes by about a third.40

If left untreated, about 50% of hypertensive patients die of coronary heart

diseases or heart failure, about 33% of stroke and 10-15% of renal failure.15

Page 47: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

19

Quantitative estimates indicate that the individuals with diastolic blood pressure of

105 mmHg and above have 10 times higher risk of stroke and 5 times higher risk of

coronary events as compared to those having diastolic blood pressure of 76 mmHg .15

Various studies have shown the increased risk of stroke with increase in systolic and

diastolic blood pressure. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

(NHANES III) conducted between 1991 and 1994 showed that only 68% of patients

with hypertension knew that they had hypertension, only 55% were being treated and

only 27% of treated patients had good blood pressure control.28

Joint National committee (JNC VI) states that even isolated systolic

hypertension (ISH) is a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Treatment of

ISH and hypercholesterolemia in older people reduces the frequency of coronary

events.18

In 1998 the North Kerelia project in Finland studied the relationship of blood

pressure to 5 year risk of stroke and it was observed that the risk rates of systolic

blood pressure of 150 mmHg and above was 4.3 and of diastolic blood pressure of

atleast 90 mm Hg was 4.4.41

Data from Framingham study clearly indicates that the relative risk of

hypertension in males is 2 times for coronary heart disease. 3.8 times for stroke, 4

times for cardiac failure and 2 times for peripheral vascular disease. Similarly, 10

mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure is associated with 1.65 times higher risk of

developing end stage renal diseases.15

Studies conducted on drivers in 1991 at Newyork and Copenhagen had also

shown that hypertension was one of the risk factors for coronary heart diseases.8, 35

RISK FACTORS FOR HYPERTENSION

As hypertension is a major risk factor for many diseases, a number of risk

factors are responsible for elevation of blood pressure. Some of them being

modifiable by life style changes and some are not.1

a) Age – A positive relationship between age and blood pressure has been clearly

demonstrated by numerous epidemiological studies in most populations with

diverse geographical cultural and socioeconomic characteristics.42,43,44,45,46

According to third National Health and Nutrition Examination survey

(NHANES III), the prevalence and severity of hypertension increases with

age.46 There is a progressive rise in average systolic BP with advancing age,

where as diastolic BP increases with age at a slower rate than for systolic BP

and peaks during fifth to sixth decade and tends to remain flat or decline

thereafter.17 In the younger age groups, the distortion of blood pressure takes a

Gaussian shape and after the age of 20 years, it becomes more skewed towards

higher level, for each successive older age group. According to WHO report

(1983) it has also been noticed that the age related rise of blood pressure is

greater in those with high initial blood pressure.25

The Framingham study showed an average 20 mmHg systolic and 10

mmHg diastolic increase from age 30 to 65 years.47

However in some isolated populations (Eg. Yanamato Indians in

Brazil, Kenyan nomads), this age related rise in blood pressure is not evident.

This is especially true of populations with low salt intakes. It has also been

observed that unacculturated societies acquire a predisposition to age related

Review of Literature

21

increase in blood pressure when they adopt a western life style indicating an

environmental influence.42

b) Ethnicity – Various population based studies have seen that the incidence of

hypertension among blacks is greater at every age beyond adolescence and

they have a higher proportion of more severe disease with high mortality rates

than whites at every level of income.15 It has also been reported that the black

Americans of African origin have higher blood pressure than black Africans,

suggesting the environmental augmentation of ethnic predisposition.42

c) Heridity and Genetic factors – Familial resemblance of blood pressure levels

among the first degree relatives has been found to be statistically significant in

a large number of studies.48 As per a report of WHO expert group,25 a family

history of elevated blood pressure is one of the strongest risk factor for future

development of hypertension in individuals.15

In a population based study in Jamaica, it was observed that there is a

familial resemblance of blood pressures scores in adults with a regression

coefficients approximates 0.2 to 0.3 for blood pressure of individuals against

blood pressure of their first order relatives (Parents and Siblings).48 Various

studies have shown that, adults tend to retain their blood pressure ‘rank’

relative to others and this phenomenon of tracking can be followed from early

childhood. In Tecumsch study, people in their forties with elevated blood

pressure, as a group, had higher blood pressure readings than normal at the

age of 7 years. While tracking is effective in predicting group experience, the

ability to predict adult levels of blood pressure in childhood is limited.15, 42

Page 50: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

22

The role of genetic factors in the development of high blood pressure

has been gaining interest in the recent years and hypertension is and currently

regarded to be polygenic. Twin studies have confirmed the importance of

genetic factors in hypertension. It has been shown that blood pressure levels of

monozygotic twins are more strongly correlated that those of dizygotic

twins.25 In a study conducted in California to determine the concordance of

hypertension in adult male twins and to examine the environmental factors, it

was seen that, while genetic factors have an important bearing in influencing

hypertension, its progress and clinical course is likely to be largely modified

by various behavioral factors like weight gain, alcohol consumption and

physical activity.49

A large number of candidate genes are being studied, especially the

Angiotension II converting enzyme, angiotensin gene polymorphisms and

chreomogranin.50 Current attempts to develop DNA markers focus on the

‘candidate gene’ and a study conducted in 1998 to know the concept and

potential of gene therapy in cardiovascular disease, has also shown the role of

in-vivo gene transfer in improving vascular reactivity to endogenous

vasodilation and controlling hypertension.51

d) Socioeconomic status – As per the WHO report (1996) higher prevalence of

hypertension has been observed in lower socioeconomic groups in countries,

that are in post transistional stage of economic and epidemiological changes.

This inverse relationship has been noted with levels of education, income and

occupation. On the contrary high level of blood pressure and higher

prevalence of hypertension is seen in upper socioeconomic group in countries

that are in transitional or pretransistional phase.

Review of Literature

23

However a population based study in south India in 1994 observed that

the prevalence of hypertension was higher among those in higher

socioeconomic group (22.5%) while it was low in lower socioeconomic

group (8%).52

e) Occupation - A WHO report (1983) shows that white collar occupational

group had the highest prevalence of hypertension of 29.5%, followed by

housewives 13.8% and farmers / labourers (13%). The difference was found to

be statistically significant (p<0.01).25

The prevalence of hypertension is also seen to be more in transport

personnel.36,37 In a Indian study conducted in Miraj in Maharashtra in 2005

revealed that hypertension was an important cause of morbidity among the

transport employees. This was more related to type of work, lack of physical

activity, unhealthy habits and obesity.38

f) Religion – In Indian study conducted in Chittur it was observed, that the

prevalence of hypertension was found to be highest among Christians (42.9%)

followed by Muslims (20.9%) and Hindus (15.7%), but the difference was not

found to be statistically significant (P>0.05). These findings may be possibly

influenced by very small number of Christians in the study.53

g) Marital Status – In one Indian study the prevalence was found to be more

among unmarried persons (33.3%) followed by 12.56% among married.

However another study at Pune did not find any significant difference between

the married and unmarried indicating that the hypertension was not associated

with marital status of the individual.54

Page 52: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

24

h) Alcohol - The cause and effect relationship between regular alcohol

consumption and blood pressure elevation was first suggested in 1915 by Lian.

Since then sporadic reports linking alcohol and hypertension have continued to

appear suggesting a major contribution of alcohol to blood pressure elevation

in drinking communities.55

A review of about 30 cross sectional epidemiological studies revealed

a direct association of alcohol intake with blood pressure and an apparent

threshold at approximately three drinks (about 40gm ethanol) per day. It has

also been observed that significant lowering of systolic BP and diastolic BP by

3-5 mmHg was associated with reduction in alcohol intake to about 80%, i.e.

to a level of about 3 drinks per week.56 INTERSALT STUDY showed positive

independent relationship between alcohol and raised blood pressure.57 In a

Cohort study in US on nurses in 1990, it has been demonstrated that the

independent risk of hypertension was almost two times higher among those

consuming alcoholic drinks containing absolute alcohol equivalent of 35

grams or more per day.58

The question of mechanism of blood pressure raising effect of alcohol

is still unresolved. Possible mechanisms include sensitization of blood vessels

to presser substances like catecholamines and stimulation of sympathetic

nerve activity possibly due to fluctuating blood levels of adrenocorticoid

hormones.56

According to world hypertension league 1991, the pressor effect of

alcohol is probably linear throughout the entire range of alcohol consumption

but appear to increase in magnitude with the amount consumed daily

particularly in those drinking three or more standard drinks a day.55 It has also

Page 53: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

25

been suggested by another study conducted in 1991, that this pressor effect of

alcohol is quite likely to be reversible if it is given up.59

i) Physical activity – In a study in UK in 1991 and a study in Germany in 1994,

an inverse association between physical activity and blood pressure has been

observed.60,61 This association has been seen to be independent of age, BMI

and cholesterol level.60 As per a report of WHO group sedentary

normotensives have 20% to 50% higher risk of developing hypertension than

those who are undertaking physical exercise regularly.62 Exercise lowers

systolic and diastolic BP by 5-10 mmHg. It has also been recommended that

dynamic isometric exercise viz walking is better than static isometric exercise

viz weight lifting.15 In one of the reviews it has been concluded that lower

intensity / higher frequency activity is probably as effective as or more

effective than higher intensity exercised and this finding was confirmed by a

subsequent trial in Japanese patients.63

A number of mechanisms have been suggested to link the association

of physical activity with the hypertension. These include effect on body

weight, insulin sensitivity, electrolyte balance, sympathetic nervous system,

fine effects on vascular structure and neural and baroreflex mechanisms.15

j) Body weight and obesity – Several epidemiological studies have correlated

excess body weight with levels of blood pressure. Obesity, whether expressed

as skinfold thickness, Body Mass Index (BMI) or waist to hip ratio (WHR) has

shown to be an independent risk factor for hypertension.

WHO has recommended Body Mass Index (BMI) as a useful measure

of obesity, BMI is calculated as weight (in Kg) divided by height (in meter)

Page 54: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

26

squared. BMI values of 25 and more indicate overweight and 30 and above

indicate obesity among males.64 With this standard of BMI as recommended

by WHO, obesity seems to be a major problem.45

The WHO – MONICA Project data indicate that among males aged

35-64 years the median value of BMI was 25 and above in all the study areas

except Beizing.65

In most studies, overweight has been found to be associated with a 2 to

6 fold increase in the risk of developing hypertension and has been

recommended as the strongest predictor of hypertension.66

In an Indian study in Urban population of North India, it was observed

that the overall prevalence of obesity to be as high as 56.2% in males and

57.3% in females.67 A study conducted in south India in 1991 found that

38.11% of hypertensive studied were having a BMI of 25 and above.68

Various mechanisms have been suggested as explainations for

association between obesity and hypertension like dysregulation of endocrine

system, metabolism, alteration in the fluid volume distribution with

hemodynamic changes and cardiac morphological alterations.69 It has been

shown that weight loss successfully reduced the BP and that when weight loss

is added to antihypertensive regimen, BP was better controlled in those

patients who met their body mass index goal than those who did not (95% Vs

20%).70

During the recent years, increasing interest has been showed by

epidemiologists and clinicians in the utility of waist hip ratio (WHR) as a

simple indicator of hypertension, ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus.

Page 55: Chizoba project

Review of Literature

27

In a study to know the relation between anthropometric indicators with

blood pressure levels in rural Wardha in 2006, it was seen that there was a

significant positive correlation of obesity indicators with both systolic and

diastolic blood pressure. For systolic BP, the correlation coefficient was 0.23

with BMI , 0.23 with waist circumference (WC), 0.11 with WHR and 0.22

with WHtR (Waist Height Ratio). For diastolic BP it was 0.13 with BMI, 0.12

with WC, 0.04 with WHR , and 0.11 with WHtR.71

It has been confirmed by WHO expert committee report that “central

obesity” as indicated by WHR has positive relationship with high blood

pressure 15. In a study in urban population in North India it was observed that

the prevalence of coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus and hypertension

are significantly higher among individuals having a WHR of more than 0.88

as compared to those having WHR of less 0.81.67

In a hospital based study comparing the bodymass index and waist-to-

hip ratio as indicators of hypertension risk in an urban Argentine population

conducted in 2005, it was concluded that there was a increased prevalence of

overweight-obesity in the hypertensive group and that the WHR offers

additional information beyond BMI and WC to predict the hypertension risk.72

In the Framingham study it was noticed that approximately 1 mm rise

of systolic BP was attributed to every 900 gm of weight gain and central

obesity may account for 70% of hypertension in men and 61% in women.14

As per JNC V report, it was alleged that hypertension associated with

obesity is not as serious as that which occurs in a lean person.18 However a

28

study in Korean men and women have indicated that a strong association

between BMI and WHR exists for lean as well as obese subjects.73

k) Psychosocial Stress – The relationship between acute stress and blood

pressure along with numerous physiological and hormonal mediators have

stimulated many studies. According to an expert committee of WHO (1983), it

is quite possible that modification of psychosocial influences may be an

important approach in primary prevention of hypertension while the

association between psychosocial stress and hypertension need to be further

clarified.25

One of the most promising formulations of chronic stress concept has

been “Job strain” defined as work with high psychological demand and low

decision latitude. Similarly “suppression of anger” has been implicated as an

important factor in the development of hypertension.74 The relative importance

and exact role of various psychosocial stress factors like decision latitude,

personality type, suppression of anger and lack of social support etc is yet to

be established.66

As per a WHO report, various forms of acute mental stresses increases

blood pressure. However there is little evidence that long term stress has long

term effect.15 A review of 25 randomized control trials, it was seen that about

half of all trials showed significant reduction, but rest half of the trials, there

was little evidence of an overall blood pressure effect.46

In a critical review in Cornell University Ithaca, it was seen that city

bus operators suffer elevated health risks and striking levels of absenteeism

and medical disability that may be related to occupational stress.75

It is difficult to establish a firm relationship between role of continued

stress and hypertension, because of the difficulties involved in evaluating

degrees and various types of stress and therefore require further exploration in

large prospective studies.66

l) Dietary Salt intake - Experimental as well as observational studies have

shown that the intake of sodium chloride in excess physiological requirement

is associated with high blood pressure.15 Unfortunately there is no easy way to

measure salt intake accurately. Self assessment can be grossly misleading,

dietary questionnaires fail in case of sodium and duplicate diets are

cumbersome and expensive. Urinary sodium excretion is the best guide to

measure salt intake. 24 hour collection of urine are needed to measure salt

intake, since the day and night ratio of sodium excretion varies.14

Intersalt study gathered data on blood pressure and 24 hrs urinary

excretion of sodium and potassium excretion for subjects of both sex aged 20

to 59 years and observed that for every 10 mmol rise in a populations sodium

intake, there was an increase of 0.9 mmHg systolic and 0.45 mmHg diastolic

in the populations mean rise in blood pressure.

The mechanisms for the pressor effect include deficit in Na+ transport

across cell membrane, resulting in increase in concentration of Ca+ which may

increase the vascular wall tension and smooth muscle contract ability there by

increasing the blood pressure.14

In Dietary Intervention Study of Hypertension (DISH), it was

demonstrated that when salt intake was reduced to 40 mmol, 46% of the

patients with hypertension remained normotensive.70

Review of Literature

However the results of National Health and Nutritional Examination

Survey (NHANES-1) did not support current recommendation for routine

reduction of sodium consumption, nor do they justify increased salt intake.76

Perhaps, the trials of hypertension Prevention (TOHP) phase I was the largest

trial in normotensive that achieved long term reduction in sodium intake,

through dietary consulting and significant blood pressure reduction was seen

in these trials.77

m) Tobacco use - Tobacco use, particularly smoking is a most important public

health hazard in the world today. The main reason for its ubiquity is the

addicting drug nicotine present in all forms of tobacco leaf, which is delivered

in various amounts by various methods of tobacco use and affects the blood

pressure probably through nicotine induced release of epincphrine from

adrenergic nerve endings.78

Tobacco has been used in various forms viz in the form of smoking,

chewing, snuffing etc. As per WHO report (1997) in India, 65% of all men

and 3% of women use some form of tobacco (about 35%, smoking , 22%

smokeless tobacco and 8% both) and 47% of men and 12% of women smoke

globally.79 A study comparing the effect of smokeless tobacco, cigarettes and

nicotine gum have reported that all tobacco use increase the heart rate and

blood pressure.80 However it has been found that no significant elevation of

diastolic B.P. is seen in young snuff users.81

Though effect of tobacco on coronary vascular disease has received

less attention than its effect on cancer, large epidemiological studies have

demonstrated that smoking multiples the risks of cardiovascular disease in the

presence of hypertension.15 It has been concluded that nicotine use, alcohol

Review of Literature

31

consumption and a sedentary life style are frequently associated and these

adverse habits contribute to the genesis of hypertension.82

It has been found that smoking cesation reduces both systolic and

diastolic blood pressure for at least six hours.83 There are also evidences that

smoking reduces the efficacy of drugs in hypertensive patients. In a study

analyzing the role of smoking and stroke in 1998, it was observed that

treatment of hypertension is much less effective in hypertensive smokers than

hypertensive non smokers.84

Another study had also recorded incremental increase in heart rate and

blood pressure following tobacco chewing.85

It is interesting to note that though smoking as well as hypertension

are major independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, smoking by

itself does not seem to be causally related in the genesis of hypertension as

shown in a report of WHO expert committee.15 The reasons of this lack of

association and role of tobacco smoking and smokeless tobacco in the

development of hypertension needs further research to elucidate, whether the

relation is causal or prognostic.15

n) Dietary factors:

Although, observational studies suggest the association of several

macronutrients (fat, fatty acids, carbohydrate, fibre and protein) with blood

pressure, as yet no causal relationship between hypertension has been

proved.15 In a study to know the ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate

response to vegetarian meals, it has been noted that vegetarians tend to have

lower blood pressure, which may be attributable to a lower glycemic index of

Review of Literature

32

their diet.86 It has also been suggested that there is likelihood of having lower

blood pressure levels among vegetarians as compared to those having mixed

diet.87 One of the feature of vegetarian diet in the increased fibre content and

that increasing the plant fibre in diet lowers the BP by about 5mmHg in

hypertensives but not in normotensives.88 However one of the study based on

urban community in India in 2005 had pointed out the protective effect of non-

vegetarian diet, but the study participants were predominantly fish eaters and

consumed mustard oil which have protective fatty acids.45

The role of dietary fibre, vegetables, fruits and vitamins like vitamin E

and C is also receiving interest in determining certain chronic diseases like

ischemic heart disease and cancers, though their independent roles in

hypertension has not much been studied.83 The lipoproteins are fundamental to

the atherosclerotic process and pace of atherogenesis and helps to assess the

risk among hypertensives.14 Little if any effect is noted in multiple controlled

trials of varying the amount of total dietary fat or the ratio of polyunsaturated,

monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids in mild hypertensives.89

Little is known about the effect of proteins on the blood pressure.

However an inverse relationship between the blood pressure and protein intake

was observed in the INTERSALT study of over 2000 people from 12

countries, which has been supported by series of analysis from large

observational studies that higher vegetable protein intake might decrease the

blood pressure.90

t) Waist circumference:

It was measured on the unclothed abdomen, by asking the participant to stand

in erect posture and placing the tape horizontally around the waist at the mid point

between lower border of rib cage and the iliac crest.

u) Hip circumference:

It was measured with the participants standing erect both thigh and feet

touching to each other and the tape was placed horizontally at the level of greater

trochanters.

v) Waist Hip Ratio:

Waist Hip ratio was calculated by using the formula

Waist Hip ratio= Waist circumference

Hip circumference

Waist-hip-ratio <1 was considered normal while waist-hip-ratio >1 was

considered high.1, 95

w) Blood Pressure Measurement:

Blood pressure was measured indirectly using mercury sphygmomanometer

and the ausculatory method. The participant was first asked to sit quietly and

comfortably on a chair with back supported for about five minutes in a quiet room.

The arm muscles were relaxed and the forearm was comfortably supported on a table

with the cubital fossa at heart level. A standard adult size cuff of 13X30 cms was

applied evenly to the exposed right arm. The cuff was first inflated simultaneously

palpating the radial pulse. The reading was noted at which the radial pulse

disappeared to palpation. The cuff was then deflated and the chest piece of

stethoscope was placed over the brachial artery, below the lower margin of the cuff.

The cuff was now rapidly inflated until the manometer reading was about 30 mm Hg

above the radial palpatory pressure and slowly deflated at a rate of 2 mm Hg per

second. The systolic blood pressure was determined by the first perception of

Korotkoff’s sound, while the diastolic blood pressure was determined when the sound

completely disappeared (Phase V). Two readings of systolic BP and diastolic BP were

taken and recorded at an interval of at least 3 minutes and the mean value for each is

calculated.15

x) Categorization of participants by blood pressure levels:15, 17

Participants will be classified in to normotensives and Hypertensives on the

basis of there blood pressure levels as per the latest definition criteria

Normotensives:

Systolic blood pressure<140 mm Hg

Diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg

Hypertensives:

Systolic blood pressure >140mm Hg

Diastolic blood pressure > 90 mm Hg

Participants who were known hypertensives also included in the study for

calculating prevalence of hypertension.

8) Statistical analysis:

Summary figures like rates were calculated. Chi square test was used to test

the association between hypertension and various risk factors.

smokers and out of 20.6% smokers, majority of them (86.8%) were smoking less than

10 cigarettes/ beedies per day and most of the smokers (34.2%) were smoking for

more than 10 years.

Distribution of study participants according to use of smokeless tobacco and the

duration of its use (Table 15 A and B)

In the present study, among drivers, most of them were not using smokeless

tobacco (60%), 1.1% were ex-users and out of 38.9% current users of smokeless

tobacco 38.7% were using it between 6-10 years 35.9% were using it up to 5 years

and 25.4% were using it for more than 10 years.

Among conductors, most of them were not using smokeless tobacco (66.5%),

2.4% were ex user and out of 31.1% current users, 40% were using it between 6-10

years, 30.4% were using it for more than 10 years and 29.6% were using it up to 5

years.

Distribution of study participants according to alcohol consumption, quantity of

alcohol and its duration (Table 16 A B C)

In the present study, majority of drivers were not consuming alcohol (58.1%),

6.8% were ex-users and out of 35.1% drivers who were consuming alcohol majority

of them were consuming it up to 90 ml per weekly and majority of them were

consuming it between 6-10 years (36.7%).

Among conductors, majority of them were not consuming alcohol (61.6%),

5.7% were ex-users and out of 32.7% conductors who were consuming alcohol

majority of them were consuming it up to 90 ml (48.8%) and majority of them were

consuming it between 6-10 years (42.2%).

Distribution of study participants according to overweight (Table 17)

In the present study among drivers, 56.7% were having normal weight

(BMI<25) and 43.3% were overweight (BMI>25)

Among conductors 71.9% were having normal weight (BM<25) and 28.1%

were overweight (BMI>25)

Distribution of study participants according to Waist Hip Ratio: (Table 18)

In the present study among drivers, 78.9% were having waist hip ratio equal to

or less than 1 and 21.1% were having waist hip ratio more than 1.

Among conductors, 85.9% were having waist hip ratio equal to or less than 1

and 14.1% were having waist hip ratio more than 1.

Prevalence of hypertension in Drivers and Conductors (Table 19)

In the present study the prevalence of hypertension in drivers was 23.8% and

in conductors it was 14.8%

A study conducted in urban slum area of Tirupati town, Andhra Pradesh in

2003 to know the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension in adults aged 20-60

years showed that overall prevalence of hypertension was 8.6%.43

In another study, conducted in rural area of Belgaum in 2002, the prevalence

of hypertension was 11.73%.96

Compared to both studies in our study the prevalence of hypertension among

drivers and conductors is more.

Distribution of hypertensives according to past history of hypertension (Table 20)

Out of 87 drivers who were hypertensives only 29.9% had been diagnosed

with hypertension and were under treatment, the rest (70.1%) were newly diagnosed.

Out of 55 conductors who were hypertensives only 40% had been diagnosed

with hypertension and were under treatment the rest (60%) were newly diagnosed.

Distribution of hypertensives according to level of blood pressure (Table 21)

In the present study, out of 87 drivers who were hypertensives, 59.8% were in

the mild hypertension group, in that 25.3% were in borderline subgroup and 34.5% in

the higher than borderline subgroup 6.9% were in the moderate and severe

hypertension group and 21.8% were in isolated systolic hypertension group. The rest

11.5% were having normal blood pressure due to regular anti-hypertensive treatment.

Out of 55 conductors, 74% were in the mild hypertension group, in that 35.3% were

in the borderline subgroup and 39.2% were in the higher than borderline subgroup and

39.2% were in the higher than borderline subgroup, 11.7% were in moderate and

severe hypertension group and 13.7% were in isolated systolic hypertension group.

The rest 51% were having normal blood pressure due to regular anti-hypertensive

treatment.

Association between hypertension and age: (Table 22)

In this study the association between hypertension and age, in both drivers and

conductors was found to be statistically significant. The study revealed that, the

prevalence of hypertension increased with increase in age and was highest in those

who were more than 50 years i.e 54.7% in drivers and 38.6% in conductors.

These findings compare well with a study conducted in urban slum area of

Tirupati town in 2003, to know the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension in

adults aged 20-60 years which showed that the prevalence of hypertension steadily

increased with age and was highest in the 50-60 years group (38%).43

The finding of the present study is in accordance with the study report of third

National Health and Nutrition Examination survey (NHANES III) which revealed an

increase in prevalence of hypertension with advancing age.

Association between hypertension and socio-economic status (Table 23)

In the present study the prevalence of hypertension was found to be 45.5%

among drivers and 28% among conductors belonging to class I modified B.G.Prasad’s

classification and steadily decreased to 5.1% among drivers and 3.2% among

conductors belonging to class IV. The association in both the drivers and conductors

was found to be statistically significant, showing that hypertension was positively

associated with higher socioeconomic status.

The result of the present study is similar to that of the study conducted in

south India in 1994 which observed that the prevalence of hypertension in the highest

socio economic group was 22.5% and it was only 8.8% in the lowest socioeconomic

group showing significant positive association between socio-economic status and

hypertension.52

It appears that in high in-come group; it is the lifestyle and dieting factors

which contribute to hypertension. They suffer from more stress of life; have low

physical activity and high caloric diet leading to obesity and hypertension.

Association between hypertension and educational status (Table 24)

The present study revealed that, among drivers, the prevalence of hypertension

was higher (40.3%) in lower education group i.e who studied up to primary level. It

was lowest among drivers who studied up to PUC/ Diploma (13.5%) and no one was

hypertensive who had studied up to graduate level. This association among drivers

was statistically significant.

Among conductors the prevalence of hypertension was higher (17.8%) among

those who studied up to secondary level, lowest (11.9%) among those who studied up

to PUC/ Diploma level. However this association among conductors was not

statistically significant.

The finding of the present study among conductors correlates well with the

study conducted in 2002 among tea garden workers of Assam which did not find any

association between hypertension and educational status.97

Association between hypertension and religion (Table 25)

In the present study among drivers hypertension was more in Muslims

(32.3%) compared to Hindus (21.6%). There was only 1 Christian in our study who

was hypertensive. The results were statistically significant.

Among conductors also, hypertension was more in Muslims (17%) compared

to Hindus (14.5%). However the results were not statistically significant.

In a study conducted in chittoor in 2001, the prevalence of hypertension was

found to be highest among Christians (42.9%) followed by Muslims 20.9% and

Hindus 15.7%, however this difference was not found to be statistically significant.53

Association between hypertension and diet (Table 26)

In the present study, the prevalence of hypertension was more among drivers

(25.3%) and conductors (15.5%) who were having mixed diet. It was less in drivers

(13.3%) and conductors (12.6%) who were vegetarian. The results in both drivers and

conductors were not statistically significant.

The results of the present study was similar to that of study conducted in rural

south India in 1994 where it was observed that there was no significant difference in

prevalence of hypertension among vegetarians and those having mixed diet.52

Association between hypertension and family history of hypertension (Table 27)

Among drivers, 34.8% were hypertensive who gave family history of

hypertension, 22.7% were hypertensive who didn’t give family history of

hypertension. The results were not statistically significant.

Among conductors, 33.3% were hypertensives who gave family history of

hypertension, 12.2% were hypertensive who didn’t give family history of

hypertension. The results were statistically significant (p<0.000).

In a study conducted in urban slum area of Tirupati in 2003 to know the

prevalence and risk factors of hypertension in adults aged 20-60 years, it was seen

that 23.3% were hypertensives who gave family history of hypertension and this

association was statistically significant (p<0.001).43

The results in the present study among conductors showed similar results as

the study conducted in Tirupati in 2003.

However, in the present study among drivers, a significant association of

hypertension and family history could not be established, most probably because

hypertension remains silent being generally asymptomatic during most of its course

and large majority of the cases are likely to be hidden or undetected. Therefore a

number of participants may not be even aware that their first degree relatives may be

having hypertension or had died because of complications of hypertension.

Association between hypertension and type of family (Table 28)

In the present study, prevalence of hypertension is more in both drivers

(24.4%) and conductors (15.1%) who lived in nuclear family. It was 17.4% in drivers

and 14.3% in conductors who lived in joint family.

The results were not statistically significant. There is hardly any data that is

available where the type of family is considered as a variable in studies of

hypertension.

Association between hypertension and physical exercise (Table 29)

In the present study, prevalence of hypertension was more in drivers (24.8%)

and conductors (15.3%) who were not exercising. It was less in drivers (14.3%) and

conductors (7.1%) who were exercising. However the results were not statistically

significant.

However in a study conducted in Tirupati in 2003, 15.8% were hypertensives

who were not exercising regularly and thus showed a strong association between

hypertension and lack of physical exercise (p<0.001).43

Association between hypertension and duration of service (Table 30)

In the present study, prevalence of hypertension is least in drivers (7.3%) and

conductors (4.2%) whose duration of service in the department is less than 10 years.

Prevalence of hypertension was gradually increased as the duration of service

94

increased and it is highest in drivers (71.4%) and conductors (36.3%) whose duration

of service in the department is more than 30 years. The results were statistically

significant in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000).

In a study, conducted in San Francisco Municipal Railway among transit

vehicle operators based on data in 1983 to 1985 showed that there was increases

prevalence of hypertension with increases duration of service. Duration of service is

one of the indicator of psychosocial stress. Hence as the duration of service increased,

psychosocial stress also increased which leads to increased prevalence of

hypertension, as seen in the present study.37

Association between hypertension job satisfaction (Table 31)

In the present study, prevalence of hypertension was more in drivers (57.1%)

and conductors (33.3%) who were not satisfied with their job compared to 16.3% in

drivers and 11.6% in conductors who were satisfied with their job.

The results in both drivers and conductors were statistically significant

(p<0.000).

Job satisfaction is also one of the indicator of psychosocial stress.

Psychosocial stress would be definitely more in those who were not satisfied with

there job which leads to increased prevalence of hypertension in them as seen in our

study.

Association between hypertension and extra salt intake (Table 32)

In the present study, it was found that prevalence of hypertension was higher

in driver (70.7%) and conductors (68.6%) who consumed extra salt in their diet

regularly. It was 11.7% in drivers and 6.3% in conductors who were not consuming

extra salt regularly. The result in both drivers and conductors were statistically

significant (p<0.000).

In a study conducted in a rural area of Belgaum in 2002, the prevalence of

hypertension was higher among extra salt users (14.6%) as compared to non-users

(7.41%). This difference was statistically significant (p<0.01), thus correlating well

with the results of the present study.96

However, in a study conducted in Bangalore on BMTC drivers, there was no

significant association between hypertension and extra salt intake as only 1(20%) of

the driver was hypertensive among 5 drivers who were taking extra salt in their diet.39

Association between hypertension and extra fat intake (Table 33)

In the present study the prevalence of hypertension among drivers was higher

who consumed extra fat in their diet (37.6%) compared to those who were not

consuming extra fat in their diet (20.1%). The results were statistically significant

(p=0.001).

Among conductors also, the prevalence of hypertension was higher in those

who consumed extra fat in their diet (22.8%) compared to those who were not

consuming extra fat in their diet (13.4%). However the results were not statistically

significant.

In a study conducted in Tirupati in 2003, the prevalence of hypertension was

8.8% who consumed extra fat in their diet, which was statistically significant

(p<0.05).43

Association between hypertension and over weight (Table 34)

In the present study, higher prevalence of hypertension was found among

drivers (50.6%) and conductors (38.4%) whose BMI was equal to or greater than 25.

It was lower in drivers (3.4%) and conductors (5.6%) whose BMI was less than 25.

The results were statistically significant in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000).

In a study conducted in rural area of Belgaum in 2002, the prevalence of

hypertension was higher (20.2%) among participants whose BMI>25 compared to

those whose BMI<25 (10.9%). This difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).96

In another study conducted in Tirupati in 2003, the prevalence of hypertension

was 14.9% among participants whose BMI>25. The results were statistically

significant (p<0.001).43

The results of the present study correlates well with the above studies.

Association between hypertension and Waist-Hip ration (Table 35)

In the present study, high prevalence of hypertension was found in both

drivers (76.6%) and conductors (57.6%) whose waist-hip ratio was more than 1. It is

lower in drivers (9.7%) and conductors (7.8%) whose waist hip ratio was less than 1.

The results were statistically significant in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000).

In a study conducted in rural area of Belgaum in 2002, the prevalence of

hypertension was higher among participants whose WHR>0.9 (21.3%) compared to

those whose WHR<0.9 (11.0%). This difference was statistically significant

Association between hypertension and Tobacco smoking (Table 36 A, B, C)

In the present study, the prevalence of hypertension was higher in smokers

among drivers (39.5%) and conductors (30.2%) compared to non-smokers which was

14.2% in drivers and 10% in conductors. The prevalence of hypertension was also

high in ex-smokers among driver (59.3%) and conductor (25%). This was because

most of the drivers and conductors left smoking when they have been diagnosed as

hypertension and started antihypertensive treatment (p<0.000).

The results were statistically significant in both drivers and conductors. The

prevalence of hypertension was also increased as the number of cigarettes or beedies

per day increased. It increased from 35.6% in drivers who smoked 1-10

cigarettes/beedies per day to 57.1% who smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day. The

prevalence of hypertension in conductor who smoked 1-10 cigarettes/beedies per day

was 24% and increased to 100% who smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day.

The results of present study among drivers was not statistically significant,

however among conductors it was statistically significant (p=0.003).

The prevalence of hypertension also increased as the duration of smoking

increased. It was 14.3% in drivers and 11.5% in conductors who were smoking for

more than 10 years. The results were statistically significant in both drivers (p<0.001)

and conductors (p=0.003).

In a study conducted in Tirupati in 2003 to know the prevalence and risk

factors of hypertension in adults, there was significant association between

hypertension and smoking (p<0.01), the prevalence of hypertension being higher

among smokers (22.4%).43.

Association between hypertension and use of smokeless tobacco (Table 37 A and B)

In the present study, the prevalence of hypertension among drivers who used

smokeless tobacco was (20.5%) compared to non-users (26%). This was because,

most of the drivers who used smokeless tobacco belonged to younger age group. The

results were not statistically significant.

Among conductors, the prevalence of hypertension in ex-users was 55.5%,

13.4% in non-users and 14.8% in current smokeless tobacco users. The results were

statistically significant when compared with non-smokers and ex-smokers (p=0.002).

The prevalence of hypertension also increased as the duration of use of

smokeless tobacco was increased. It was 9.8% in drivers and 2.9% in conductors who

were using it upto 5 years and increased to 52.8% in drivers and 34.6% in conductors

who were using it for more than 10 years.

The results were statistically significant in both drivers (p<0.000) and

conductors (p=0.029).

The results of the present study were similar to a study conducted in

Bangalore among BMTC bus drivers which showed significant association between

hypertension and use of smokeless tobacco (p<0.01). The prevalence of hypertension

drivers and 8.7% in conductors who were not using alcohol. The results were

statistically significant in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000).

The prevalence also increased as the quantity of alcohol increased. It was

17.1% in drivers and 10.1% in conductors who were consuming it upto 90ml per

week and increased to 70% in drivers and 35.3% in conductors who were consuming

alcohol more than 360ml per week. The results were statistically significant in both

driver (p<0.000) and conductors (p=0.007).

The prevalence of hypertension also increased as the duration of alcohol

consumption increased. It was 8.4% in drivers and 6.5% in conductors who were

consuming it for less than 5 years and increased to 67.4% in drivers and 41% in

conductors who were consuming it for more than 10 years.

The results were statistically significant in both drivers (p<0.000) and

conductors (p=0.001).

In a study conducted in Tirupati in 2003, to know the prevalence and risk

factors of hypertension in adults, the prevalence of hypertension was 20% among

SUMMARY

The present study was a cross sectional study undertaken to study the

prevalence of hypertension among drivers and conductors of NWKRTC and to

study its association with certain risk factors. The study included 365 drivers

and 370 conductors working in NWKRTC in Belgaum division, Belgaum. The

duration of study was one year from January 2006 to December 2006. Data

collection procedure used in the study, consisted of physical examination and

personal interview. Categorization of participants into normotensives and

hypertensives was in accordance with the latest WHO criteria (Normotensive

– SBP<140mmHg and DBP<90mmHg, hypertensive-SBP>140mmHg or

DBP>90mmHg).

Sociodemographic characteristics of study population revealed that majority of

drivers (40.5%) and conductors (48.6%) had studied upto secondary level,

majority of drivers (73.7%) and conductors (87.7%) were Hindus, most of

drivers (41.9%) and conductors (41.9%) belonged to class II socio-economic

status, majority of drivers (93.7%) and conductors (90.3%) were married,

most of drivers (87.7%) and conductors (78.6%) were having mixed diet,

majority of drivers (91.8%) and conductors (94.6%) belonged to nuclear

family.

The overall prevalence of hypertension was found to be 23.8% in drivers and

14.8% in conductors. Out of 87 drivers and 55 conductors who were having

hypertension, only 29.9% of drivers and 40% of conductors were aware of

their hypertensive status. Among hypertensives, majority of drivers (59.8%)

and conductors (69.1%) were having mild hypertension, while 6.9% of drivers

and 10.9% of conductors were having moderate to severe hypertension, 21.8%

of drivers and 12.7% of conductors were having isolated systolic hypertension

and 11.5% of drivers and 7.3% of conductors were having normal blood

pressure because of antihypertensive treatment.

A significant association between hypertension and increasing age was found

in the present study in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000). The prevalence

was highest in drivers (54.7%) conductors (38.6%) among those who aged

>50 years.

Hypertension was found to be significantly associated with socioeconomic

status in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000). The prevalence of

hypertension was highest in drivers (45.5%) and conductors (28%) who

belonged to class I socioeconomic status according to modified B.G. Prasad’s

classification.

A significant association was found between hypertension and educational

status among drivers (p<0.000) but it was not found in conductors. The

prevalence of hypertension was highest in drivers who studied upto primary

level (40.3%).

A significant association was found between hypertension and religion among

drivers (p=0.040). However it was not found in conductors. The prevalence of

hypertension among drivers was highest in Christians 100%, followed by

32.3% in Muslims.

A significant association was found between hypertension and family history

of hypertension among conductors (p=0.001), but it was not found in drivers.

history of hypertension (33.3%).

Hypertension was not found to be significantly associated with diet, type of

family and physical exercise.

Hypertension was found to be significantly associated with duration of service

and job satisfaction in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000). The prevalence

of hypertension was highest in drivers 71.4% and conductors 36.3% whose

duration of service was >30 years. Similarly prevalence was more in drivers

57.1% and conductors 33.3% who were not satisfied with their job compared

to those who were satisfied with their job.

A significant association between hypertension and extra salt intake was found

in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000). The prevalence of hypertension was

highest in drivers (70.7%) and conductors (68.6%) who were consuming extra

salt in their diet.

in drivers (p=0.001). But it was not found in conductors. The prevalence of

hypertension was higher in drivers who consumed extra fat in their diet

(37.6%) compared to those who were not consuming extra fat.

Hypertension was found to be significantly associated with BMI and waist-hip

ratio in both drivers ad conductors (p<0.000). The prevalence of hypertension

was higher in drivers (50.6%) and conductors (38.4%) whose BMI >25.

Similarly the prevalence was higher in drivers (76.6%) and conductors

Summary

104

A significant association between hypertension and tobacco smoking was

found in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000). The prevalence of

hypertension was increased as the number of cigarettes/beedies smoked per

day increased in both drivers and conductor, however the results only in

conductors were found statistically significant (p=0.003). Hypertension was

also found to be significantly associated with duration of smoking in both

drivers (p=0.001) and conductors (p=0.003). The prevalence was highest in

drivers (57.8%) and conductors (53.8%) who were smoking for more than 10

years.

A significant association was found between hypertension and use of

smokeless tobacco in conductors (p=0.002), but it was not found in drivers,

hypertension was also found to be significantly associated with the duration of

use of smokeless tobacco in both drivers (p<0.000) and conductors (p=0.029).

A significant association was found between hypertension and alcohol

consumption in both drivers and conductors (p<0.000). Hypertension was also

significantly associated with the quantity of alcohol consumed in both drivers

(p<0.000) and conductors (p=0.007). It was also significantly associated with

the duration of alcohol consumed in both drivers (p<0.000) and conductor

(p=0.001).

Limitations of the Study

105

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

1) The sample size of 400 drivers and 400 conductors could not be achieved

because of inability to contact few of the study participants even on repeated

visits. Thus only 365 drivers and 370 conductors were included in the present

study.

2) Few of the variables analysed in the present study were based on the

information given by the study participants. Hence an element of unavoidable

recall bias could be present in the study.

Based on the observations and conclusion of the present study, the following

recommendations are made regarding prevention and control of hypertension.

A comprehensive approach will improve the care of hypertension in the

community. The control of hypertension should fit in to overall policy of health

promotion aimed at controlling several lifestyle related disease. The distribution of

hypertension in our population is still less compared to that in developed countries.

Therefore, control measures must be initiated now because maintaining the curve to

the lesser side is easier than starting a control program late, when the need for

resources will become enormous.

Periodic examination to be followed atleast once in three months. Health

education measures are recommended about the hazards of risk factors of

hypertension among bus drivers and conductors. The significant association between

hypertension and body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ratio (WHR) as brought out in

the present study indicates that the measurement of BMI and WHR should be

incorporated as a routine part of clinical assessment in all periodic medical

examinations. All the people with increased BMI or WHR should be educated about

the benefits and methods of weight reduction and should be followed up at regular

intervals.

The finding that a large proportion of drivers and conductors were smoking,

consuming alcohol, consuming smokeless tobacco regularly and its significant

association with hypertension is a cause of serious concern. Medical and

administrative authorities must educate the people about the risk associated with such

habits and motivate them to avoid such habits.

Recommendations

107

The finding of large proportion of personnel consuming extra salt and fat

regularly in their diet and its significant association with hypertension is a cause of

serious concern. Medical and administrative authorities must educate the personnel

about the risk associated with the extra salt and fat consumption and motivate them

not to consume extra salt and fat in their diet.

An educational programme has to be conducted to raise the awareness among

bus drivers and conductors regarding risk factors, complications, prevention and

control of hypertension, focusing more on modifiable risk factors and consequence of

high blood pressure.

Implimentation of interventional measures including stress management by

alternative medicine like Yoga are recommended.

Lastly, it is suggested that, the finding and recommendations of this study be

reconfirmed by other large scale studies on hypertension.
