The comparison of the anthropometric indicators on nutrition between hypertesives and normal people at Tien Phuong commune showed that abdominal, hip circumferences and the ratio of abdominal and hip circumference in hypertensives were significantly higher in female and male than those in the normal people (p<0.05-0.001). Weight and BMI (body mass index) were significantly higher in female and skinfold thickness was higher in male group, only (p<0.05-0.001); these indicators were also significantly lower than those of the hypertensives cared for health in Huu Nghi Hospital (p<0.01-0.001).
