Abstract

It is estimated that nearly 1.3 billion adults have high blood pressure in 2021, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). A significant factor affecting blood pressure is obesity. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference measurements can detect obesity in anthropometric examinations.
