Several studies had suggested that complex body stature could be a risk factor of hypertension. We aim to correlate body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-height ratio (WHtR) of rural dwellers in Afikpo community, Ebonyi State, Nigeria, with blood pressure parameters. Furthermore, we aim to ascertain how each of the anthropometric variables affects blood pressure in men and women, respectively. A sample of 400 (200 males and 200 females) adults aged 18-89 years were selected for the correlation cross-sectional study.
