STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF REPORTED CASES OF HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS AT MEDICAL CENTRE, MARARABA GURKU.

This thesis will investigates the relationship between the two hypertensive condition (systolic and diastolic) in relation to age, body mass index, blood sugar and urine sugar of the patient. The data were obtained from Medical Centre Mararaba Gurku, Karu L.G.A, Nasarawa State. The coefficient of correlation (r=0.462) shows that there exist weak positive relationship between systolic hypertensive condition and the parameter used as indices to check the pandemic. The correlation result reveals that systolic versus body mass index, systolic versus blood sugar, systolic versus urine sugar have weak positive association that systolic hypertension versus age patient shows there exist weak negative association between them. The coefficient of determination R-square (0. 404) shows that 40.0% of variation in systolic hypertension condition has been explained by the parameters used as indices. (age body mass index blood sugar and urine sugar), the correlation result reveals that the diastolic versus blood sugar, diastolic versus urine sugar are weakly associated but between, Diastolic hypertensive versus body mass index of patient indicate there exist weak negative association between them. The coefficient of determination R-square are (0.550) indicate that 55% in diastolic hypertension condition has been explained by the parameters used as indices (age body mass index blood sugar and urine sugar.
