Abstract : High blood pressure and obesity are two global health problems and are currently prevalent throughout the world. These problems are of particular concern among young people, as they can lead to serious problems throughout life. High blood pressure is one of the most common and important human problems, and almost a quarter of all deaths in the elderly are the result of high blood pressure or its complications. The statistical population of this research was young people (20-30 years old) of the first, second and third districts of Mazar-e-Sharif city in terms of height, weight and blood pressure. The initial measures were taken by the doctor. The weight of young people was measured with clothes, height without shoes. Blood pressure was measured after 5 minutes of rest and in a sitting position with a needle sphygmomanometer and placing a stethoscope under the appropriate cuff. This research is based on (80) people who were selected randomly; There have been. The findings showed that among the respondents, there were (60) men and (20) women, and the average height and weight of women was reported to be higher than that of men. . Therefore, obesity is one of the determinants of blood pressure in young people and adolescents, and in the present study, different weight groups had significant differences in blood pressure. The average systolic pressure in girls was significantly higher than boys. Weight group and gender were significantly and independently related to systolic blood pressure and there was no interaction between weight group and gender. A significant difference between the average systolic blood pressure of overweight people and people with normal zone has been obtained. The systolic blood pressure of girls is significantly higher than that of boys, and weight group and gender are significantly and independently related to systolic blood pressure. The average diastolic pressure was not observed with weight group and sex.
