Considering the lack of information about respiratory compliance in warm and humid area, this study was designed.  . Method: A cross sectional study was designed to evaluate hairdressers and housewives in Bandar-abbas in warm seasons in 1392. A total of 200 hairdresser and 200 housewives were selected by random sampling. Respiratory questionnaires (reliability and validity of Persian version was confirmed by author) were filled by participants and Pulmunary Function Tests were performed using Spirolab 3 instrument. Data were analyzed using SPSS ver. 16.0 software and T-test, chi square, ANOVA & regression tests were used. . Results: 58.3% of general workers and 22.4% of bleaching workers in beauty shops suffered from respiratory symptoms. There was a significant and negative relationship between age and respiratory volumes. The effect of age on FEF25-75% was reverse, linear and statistically significant. Respiratory volume of epilation workers were the highest. Conclusion: General hairdressers and bleaching workers had the most respiratory symptoms. Despite housewives, spirometry graph curvature was significant in hairdressers. For housewives respiratory symptoms were not related to job experience and their spirometric parameters were independent of age and work experience. 151 Special Distribution of blood pressure in Bandar Abbas population aged higher than 18 years in 2002 Farshidi Hossein Zare Sharam Zayghami Bahram Boushehri Elham Bandar Abbas Cardiovascular Center, Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences, Bandar Abbas, Iran.

It is the one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure) and stroke. This study was designed to determine prevalence and distribution of the hypertension in Bandar Abbas population who aged higher than 18 years. Methods: In this cross –sectional study 2078 subjects (1397 women , 681 men) were selected through a cluster randomized sampling procedure and their data including age, BMI , marriage status, and hypertension family history were collected. In addition, blood pressure was determined in two arms after 10 minutes of rest. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, covariance analysis, and correlation tests with 95% confidence intervals.  Results: A total of %21 of subjects were hypertensive (BP> 140/90 mm Hg). Systolic blood pressure was positively correlated to age but diastolic blood pressure had no significant changes in ages upper than 64 yr. Mean of blood pressure in men was upper than women. Marriage status (age was controlled) and positive family history in two sex had significant effect on blood pressure. Conclusion: Identification of high blood pressure risk factors is important and can help health policy makers to find high risk groups, increase the screening efficiency, and establish preventive measures. In addition, periodic blood pressure measurement in high risk groups seems to be necessary.
