Abstract :

This cross–sectional descriptive study was conducted in March 2018 on 224 women attending a health camp to ascertain their morbidity pattern. Nearly three–fourths were asymptomaticbut had attended the health camp for a general health check–up, indicating high level of health awareness despite relatively low educational status.The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 119.51 +/– 17.67 mm Hg (95% CI: 117.20 – 121.82 mm Hg) and 76.70 +/– 10.19 mm Hg (95% CI: 75.36 – 78.03 mm Hg), respectively. The mean levels of haemoglobin and random blood sugar were 10.91 +/– 1.45 gm/dl (95% CI: 10.72 – 11.10 gm/dl) and 122.61 +/– 49.40 mg/dl (95% CI: 116.14 – 129.08 mg/dl), respectively. Only a quarter of the 78 women examined had normal Pap smear. There is a need for periodic follow–up tests for women with border–line and abnormal findings.
