Abstract


Prehypertension is to increase the awareness about the lifetime risk of hypertension and to increase awareness about the reduced risk of complications. Identify individuals in whom early intervention by lifestyle modifications could lower blood pressure. Prehypertension is often associated with multiple additional cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and diabetes mellitus. Diseases which are in the true sense multifactorial are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors but they can be proven to be prevented and cured by a healthy lifestyle. The setting selected for the study was selected industries in Kanyakumari district. Pre-hypertensive screening was done and the prevalence of prehypertension was 56.14%.
