Abstract
outdoor temperature variation to month’s changeshave been shown to affect blood pressure (BP) in
adults. The aim of present study was to indicate whether BP value in collegian young women were
influenced by environmental outdoor temperature. This study was carried out in academic year (2014-
2015) in Science College for women .The population of this study were composed of 120 women ,age
ranged (18-28yrs) who followed for six months whereas BP routinely measured during (October-
November)months, and through (December-January)months as well as in(February - march )months. The
height and body weight were measured for subjects and the body mass index (BMI)was calculated, data
analysis were carried out on SPSS software package(version 18),data are expressed mean±SD, a NOVA
test used and p value > 0.05 were considered statistically significant, post hoc test was applied to multiple
comparison among subjects to determine if any statistical difference in blood pressure whether systolic
blood pressure(SBP) or diastolic blood pressure(DBP) based on environmental outdoor temperature or on
BMI variation. The data of SBP and DBP based on variation of outdoor temperature through the months
exhibited there were highly significant increase in systolic pressure (115.4±13.5mmHg)during cold months
compared with the worm temperature months at significant difference ( p<0.005) as well there were highly
significant increase (p<0.05) in systolic pressure in moderate temperature months (February-march) versus
in the worm temperature months , but there were non-significant difference in mean of systolic blood
pressure between thecold and moderate temperaturemonths. The mean of DBP showed a highly significant
increase (p>0.05) in cold temperature month (80.7±1.5mmHg) compared with hot temperature month but
there non-significant difference in the mean of DBP (78.6±9.7mmHg), (77.3±4.5mmHg) for women
between worm and moderate temperature months respectively. The results of multiple comparison of BP
