Methods 2/2 Recruited 267 congregants in a cross sectional study Measured blood pressure (BP) mmHg, body weight (kg), height (m) and calculated BMI (kg/m²) Classified body weight as; normal: BMI< 25kg/m², overweight: BMI≥ 25kg/m², obese: BMI ≥ 30kg/m² Defined HPT: SBP ≥140 mmHg and DBP ≥ 90 mmHg Determined prevalence of hypertension and obesity Any association using Chi square test at 95% CI 5

Results 1/3 General characteristics of congregants, AKND, 2012 VariableValue Mean age50.4 ± 13.4 Sex (female)90.6% (242) Mean SBP ±SD125± 22mm of Hg Mean DBP±SD74±14 mm of hg Prevalence of HPT25% (69/267) Prevalence of obesity29% (79/267) 6

Results 2/3 HPT, 94.0% (65/69) were females Obese 96% (76/79) were females Hypertension was more likely among obese congregants (OR 2.0; 95% C1: ) compared with normal weights 7
