dc.description.abstractThe aim of the present study was to determine if there is any association between white coat hypertension (WCH) and body mass index. The study was performed in two phases. In the first phase, we studied consecutive underweight patients, while in the second phase, age-matched consecutive normal weight, overweight, and obese cases were studied. Although we detected 61 cases in the underweight group with a mean age of 24.1 years, we could only detect 12 age-matched cases in the obesity group, and thus the obesity group was not used for comparison. When we looked at the prevalences of sustained normotension (NT), WCH, and HT in the groups, there were gradual and significant increases in the prevalences of WCH in addition to the gradual, and significant decreases in the sustained NT from the underweight towards the normal weight and overweight groups. Eventually, only 31.5% of the overweight group had sustained NT, even though the mean age of the cases was very young. Due to the gradually increased prevalence of WCH from the underweight towards the normal weight and overweight groups, parallel to the already known increasing prevalences of HT, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperbetalipoproteinemia, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease and the very low prevalence of sustained NT among the overweight cases even in the early decades here, WCH should preferentially be accepted as an alarming sign of excess weight and many associated disorders in the future, rather than just being considered a predisposing factor of HT or atherosclerosis alone.en_US
