Introduction: Inter-arm difference (IAD) in blood pressure is the difference in the systolic and the diastolic blood pressure between arms of an individual. Studies regarding IAD among elderly, pregnant women, patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes have been conducted but there are very limited studies carried out among young healthy adults. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the inter-arm blood pressure difference and its association with age, sex, BMI and family history of hypertension among Nepalese healthy young adults. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 230 students of Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu, Nepal. Blood pressure was measured using a mercurial sphygmomanometer. Statistical analysis was done using paired t test, chi-square and Pearson’s correlation test using SPSS 16. Results: The absolute mean IAD for SBP was 5.03±3.88 mm Hg and for DBP was 3.84±3.77 mm Hg. There is significant inter-arm difference for SBP (t=4.882, p<0.001) but not for DBP. Inter-arm SBP difference was significantly associated with family history of hypertension (χ2 = 6.41, p=0.01) and positive but weakly correlated with age (r = +0.135, p=0.04). There is no significant association of inter-arm SBP difference with sex and BMI. Meanwhile, there is no statistically significant association of sex, family history of hypertension, age and BMI with inter-arm DBP. Conclusions: There is a significant inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference among the healthy young Nepalese adults and it is associated with the positive family history of hypertension and age.

BACKGROUND More than 100 years ago, the difference in blood pressure (BP) between arms was first reported. Recent studies have shown that different blood pressure between the right and left arm leads to cardiovascular events in the future. OBJECTIVE To establish the prevalence of an inter-arm blood pressure difference (IAD) and the dominant hands effect on the elevation blood pressure in young healthy population. METHODS This was a mixed research design, using a cross-sectional design; 3030 young, healthy participants, aged 15-40 years. BP was measured twice by both mercury sphygmomanometer and electronic simultaneously on both arms. has been carried out at Sulaimaniyah governorate/Kurdistan Region, Iraq, during the period 13th May 2019 to 22nd February 2020 RESULTS Three thousand and thirty volunteers participated in our study {1377 (45.4%) male, 1653 (54.6%) female, mean age 19.56 ± 5.14 years old, mean BMI 22.37 ± 3.83} all were young and healthy. The sIABP was equal in 163 persons (5.37%), dIABP was equal in 222 (7.32%),The sIAD > 10 mmHg (26.13 %),and dIAD > or =10 mmHg was found in 927 (33.53%) in the right arm, and 32.4% in the left arm. 288 (9.50%) were current smokers, 290 (9.6%) were smoking hookah Most had IAD above 30% of their IAD was above 10 mmHg (P-value = 0.000). In 2692 volunteers, BP, initially recorded in the dominant hand (right arm), showed sIAD> or = 10 mmHg in 943 (37.12%) volunteers, and when first measurement was done in 338 left-handed volunteers it showed sIAD> or = 10 mmHg in 112 (34.14%), P < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that significant inter-arm systolic and diastolic BP differences above (10 mm Hg) is common in the young, healthy population. Hand dominance is a significant consideration while measuring blood pressure. It is mandatory to measure blood pressure in both arms in a sitting position with a stable condition.

Background: Interarm pressure difference more than 10 mm of Hg is predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic risk. There is high prevalence of obesity and stress in police personnel because of stressful working environment. With this background the present study conducted to access the relation of interarm blood pressure difference with stress in police personnel. Aims and Objective: To assess the prevalence of stress among police personnel and to see its association with interarm pressure difference. Material and Method: This cross-sectional observational study done on 245 police worker in PAC, Sitapur, India. Subjects having more than ten years of working experience were included in study. Anthropometric measurements of subject recorded by following standard protocol. Measurement of systolic pressure in both arm recorded simultaneously by mercury sphygmomanometer. Occupation related stress was measured by using preformed police stress questionnaire, each having 20 items. Result expressed as mild, moderate or severe stress. Available data analyse and expressed in percentage, mean with SD and chi square test to see the significance of association. Results: Study result showed that 34.29 percent of subjects showed abnormally high (?10 mmHg) inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference and shows high significant association with duration of service and with stress of police personnel.   Conclusion: Interarm blood pressure difference is greater in individual having stress or prolong duration of service. Such subjects are more susceptible to develop cardiovascular or metabolic disorder in future. Early screening can help to detect the vascular events likely to occur in the future Keywords: Body mass index, Interarm pressure difference, Stress, shift worker

Background: Interarm systolic blood pressure difference more than 10 mm of Hg is predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Despite of sufficient physical activity there is high prevalence of obesity in police personal because of stressful working environment. No studies have addressed the significance of interarm pressure difference among them. Therefore, the present study conducted to access the relation of interarm blood pressure difference with obesity in police personnel. Aims and Objective: To estimate the interarm pressure difference in police personal to see its association with their obesity. Material and Method: This cross-sectional observational study done on 245 police workers in PAC, Sitapur, India. Subjects having more than ten years of working experience were included in study. Anthropometric measurements of subject recorded by following standard protocol. Measurement of systolic pressure in both arm recorded simultaneously by mercury sphygmomanometer. Available data analyze and expressed in percentage, mean with SD and chi square test to see the significance of association. Results: According to anthropometric results of subjects 77.14 prcent subjects were having generalised obesity and 82.04 percent of subjects having abdominal obesity. 34.29 percent of subjects showed abnormally high (?10 mmHg) inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference. Both type of obesity showed positive association with blood sugar level but no association with interarm pressure difference. Conclusion: Interarm blood pressure difference is greater in individual having obesity or prolong duration of service. Such subjects are more susceptible to develop coronary artery disease or peripheral arterial disease in future. Early screening can help to detect the vascular events likely to occur in the future Keywords: Body mass index, Waist circumference, Interarm pressure difference, Random blood sugar
