Popis: Introduction: Fishermen are more likely than the general population to develop hypertension due to their altered sleeping patterns as well as their high salt intake. There is a substantial correlation between obesity and the development of hypertension, in conjunction with other disorders. The primary risk factor for hypertension is Body Mass Index (BMI), which increases with BMI. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension and abdominal obesity among the fishermen population, to determine the association between hypertension and abdominal obesity and to identify the factors associated with hypertension. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among fishermen in the Chennai district with a sample size of 310. They were selected using a multistage random sampling technique and a detailed interview was conducted with the participants using a pretested, validated, modified STEPwise questionnaire. Statistical analysis included frequency, percentages, Chi-square tests, univariate regression done for categorical variables and multivariate logistic regression for significant variables (p-value
