Abstract:

 ABSTRACT Objective: Our study aims to determine the prevalence of pre-hypertension pre-HT and its associated factors in young adults. Material and Methods: The sample of our study consists of 382 individuals aged between 18 and 25 years old. The data were collected between December 2022 and April 2023 using an assessment form prepared by researchers, including measurements of body mass index, skinfold subcutaneous fat thickness, systolic SBP, and diastolic DBP blood pressure, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire IPAQ, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI, Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire LTEQ, Beck Depression Inventory BDI, Perceived Stress Scale PSS, and Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire DEBQ. Results: Among participants, 21.7 had pre-HT, with mean SBPDBP values of 121.75  14.92  78.44  11.35 mmHg. IPAQ scores indicated 45 were low active. LTPAQ revealed 33.8 engaged in high-intensity, 27.2 in moderate-intensity, and 39.0 in light-intensity exercise. BDI showed depression in 52.62. Mean PSQI was 6.01  2.9, Mean DEBQ was 85.05  17.80, Mean PSS was 19.74  5.04, and Mean BMI was 22.65  3.94 kgm2. Skinfold measurements bicepstricepsabdomen were 5.22  5.19  7.84  5.90  11.28  6.86 mm, respectively. Conclusion: The results of our study indicate that pre-HTamong young adults is emerging as a health concern closely associated with various negative factors such as inactivity and depression. Participants, with sedentary habits and poor sleep quality, maintained normal weight and fat thickness. Raising awareness about sedentary lifestyles link to pre-HT is vital through activities.

 ÖZ Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı genç erişkinlerde pre-hipertansiyon pre-HT ve ilişkili faktörlerin prevalansının belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmamızın örneklemini 18-25 yaş arası 382 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Veriler Aralık 2022 -Nisan 2023 tarihleri arasında araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan vücut kitle indeksi, skinfold deri altı yağ kalınlığı ölçümü ve sistolik SKB ve diyastolik DKB kan basınç ölçümlerini içeren değerlendirme formu, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi UFAA, Pittsburg Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi PUKİ, Serbest Zaman Egzersiz Anketi SZEA, Beck Depresyon Envanteri BDE, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ASÖ ve Hollanda Yeme Davranışı Anketinin HYDA kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 21,7si pre-HT olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Ortalama SKBDKB değerleri 121,75  14,92  78,44  11,35 mmHg olarak belirlenmiştir. UFAA skoruna göre katılımcıların 45i düşük derecede aktiftir. SZEA skoruna göre katılımcıların 33,8ü yüksek şiddetli, 27,2si orta şiddetli ve 39,0u hafif şiddetli egzersize katıldığı bulunmuştur. BDE skoruna göre katılımcıların 52,62sinde depresyon saptanmıştır. PUKİ skoru ortalaması 6,01  2,9, HYDA skor ortalaması 85,05  17,80, ASÖ ortalaması 19,74  5,04 ve VKİ ortalaması ise 22,65  3,94 kgm2 olarak kaydedilmiştir. Skinfold biceps  triceps  abdomen ölçümleri sırasıyla 5,22  5,19  7,84  5,90  11,28  6,86 mm olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, genç erişkinlerde görülen pre-HTnin, önemli bir sağlık sorunu haline gelmekte olduğunu ve inaktivite, depresyon gibi birçok olumsuz faktörle yakından ilişkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Katılımcıların sedanter yaşam sürdüğü ve uyku kalitelerinin kötü olduğu bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların normal ağırlıkta ve deri altı yağ kalınlığı ölçümleri normal değerler arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sedanter yaşamının pre-HT ile ilişkisinin farkındalığını arttıracak faaliyetlerin yapılması önemli görülmektedir.
