Abstract: Many studies have shown body weight to correlate with blood pressure and the prevalence of hypertension, but few have examined whether the correlation between overweight and hypertension holds at higher levels of blood pressure. In this article, an attempt was made to analyze the spatial variations in overweight and hypertension among women in Haryana. We take different variables like percentage of people use iodized salt, the percentage of safe drinking water availability, the percentage of sanitation availability, the percentage of electricity availability, percentage of clean fuel availability, percentage of overweight female and percentage of a female suffering from hypertension in all 21 districts of Haryana. These are the variables of quality of life and instruments of a better life. In this study, we use Arc GIS 9.3 to show the spatial pattern of the above variables. The SPSS 16 used to correlate the variables. The finding shows that Hypertension among women in Haryana is significantly and negatively associated with overweight women. Nevertheless, overweight females are positively associated with all amenities availability
