Peripheral pulse has recorded in controls and hypertensive subjects with the help of peripheral pulse analyzer for analyzing peripheral blood flow and morphological index variability as an alternative to blood pressure variability. Data in controls and patients has been age (less than and above 30 years of age) and gender (male and female) stratified.  One way analysis of variance has shown significant difference among all the 8 subgroups in 13 out of 16 variability parameters at 5% level of significance. Tukey’s HSD test at the same significance level has shown gender wise difference in 2 out of 64 comparisons, age wise difference in 7 out of 64 comparisons.  Hypertension has shown significant change in young male subjects in 2 parameters and that in female subjects in 3 parameters; however no significant change in higher age group. Significant changes in very low frequency component and high frequency component of the spectrum have been observed which are similar to that in blood pressure variability.
