Abstract

 A descriptive survey method was carried out among 286 samples to assess the incidence of hypertension and obesity and also to compare the incidence of hypertension and obesity among males and females. The result depicts that 43.35%(124) were hypertensive, and 9.09%(26) were having obesity. While comparing the incidence of hypertension among the males and females,48.63%(71) were males and 37.85%(53) were females, and in obesity,5.47%(8) were males and 12.85%(18) females. The result concludes that hypertension is more among males than that of females and obesity is more among females when comparing to males.
