目的：材料与方法：本研究于2006年在位于德里东部的城市贫民窟Gokulpuri进行。本文对275名18-40岁女性进行了夏季体检。血压在两个季节，夏季和冬季测量。结果：高血压患病率夏季为12.72%，冬季为22.22%。以舒张压为标准的高血压患病率增加一倍以上（夏季11.27%，冬季26.59%，P< 0.001）。冬季高血压患病率（SBP ≥ 140或DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg）是夏季的1.9倍（P
OBJECTIVES: to study seasonal variation in prevalence of hypertension.MATERIALS AND METHODS: the study was carried out in the year 2006, in Gokulpuri, an urban slum located in eastern part of Delhi. 275 females 18-40 years of age were examined in summer. Blood pressure was measured in two seasons, summer and winter. Nutritional status of each individual was assessed by BMI.RESULTS: the prevalence of hypertension based on SBP was 12.72% in summer which increased to 22.22% in winter. The prevalence of hypertension, using DBP criteria increased to more than double (summer vs. winter, 11.27% vs. 26.59%, P< 0.001). Overall prevalence of hypertension (SBP ≥ 140 or DBP ≥ 90 mm of Hg) was 1.9 times during winter compared to summer (P
