Body mass index and blood pressure in Korean men and women: the Korean National Blood Pressure Survey
Abstract
AIMS AND METHODS: The association between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure is well known in relatively obese populations. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between BMI and blood pressure in a lean population. Through cluster sampling, individuals aged > 30 years in 190 out of 154,082 districts were selected for study. Among 25,567 eligible individuals, measurements of blood pressure and BMI were made in 22,354. RESULTS: The BMI for males was 22.8 +/- 2.7 kg/m2 and for females was 23.4 +/- 3.2 kg/m2 (means +/- SD). Over a BMI range from 16 to 31 kg/m2 the relationships between BMI and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were almost linear. Over the BMI range 25-31 kg/m2 (overweight-to-obese) each BMI unit was associated with a difference of 1.0 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. Over the BMI range 16-25 kg/m2 (normal-to-lean) each BMI unit was associated with a difference of 0.89 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. CONCLUSION: We conclude that a strong association between BMI and blood pressure exists for lean as well as for obese subjects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
