Male involvement in family planning is one of the strategies that were Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure of at least 20mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of at least 10mmHg when a person assumes a standing position from sitting or lying. In the last few years it has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and in all leads to mortality. Aim : This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension among hypertensive patients and healthy adults. Setting and Design : Medicine OPDs were used to select 100 hypertensive patients (cases) and 100 healthy adults (adults) were used to collect relevant data. Quantitative research approach and case control design was used for the study. Material and Methods : The study was conducted on a sample of 100 hypertensive patients and 100 healthy adults selected from medicine opds. Self report (pen and paper), bio-physiological method and observation method was used for this study. The collected data was organized, tabulated, analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results : The findings of the study revealed that orthostatic hypotension increases with age in age group 35-45 yrs to >=65yrs. There was significant association of BMI, educational status, WHR, WHR, systolic blood pressure from sitting to standing position among hypertensive patients and healthy adults at p<0.05 level of significance.
