Nowadays young professionals are a soft target of hypertension due to the increased work pressure and poor tolerance.Many peoplehave high blood pressure for years without knowing it. Most of the time, there are no symptoms, but when this condition goesuntreated it damages arteries and vital organs throughout the body and that is why it is also termed as the silent killer. Complicationsarising from hypertension could lead to stroke and heart failure. Soft computing approach provides a sharper conclusion fromvague, ambiguous, and imprecise data (generally found in medical field) using linguistic variables. In this study, a soft computingdiagnostic support system for the risk assessment of hypertension is proposed.
1. Introduction
A human body is a complex system and there are a numberof variables that affect its functioning. The abnormalityin its functioning causes a number of symptoms in theform of primary stages of different diseases although therecognition of these symptoms and their mapping with thediseases precisely is not an easy one. Sometimes compicationsin human body may be caused by improper diagnosis orimproper management of the disease or due to the inac-cessibility of medical personnel [1]. The quickening speedof change and adoption of western lifestyles by people indeveloping countries have led to a sharp rise in the incidenceof hypertension [2]. Hypertension is a medical term for highblood pressure which is a condition that occurs when thepressure in the arteries is above the normal range. Accordingto one of the studies “Recession has had an adverse impacton jobs in India and perhaps this is one of the reasons whycases of Hypertension have gone up in past two years amongyoung IT professionals”. Recent analysis has predicted thatmore than 1.56 billon people will be living with hypertensionworldwide by the year 2025. It has been declared by a surveyreport that one of four adults in India has high BP which
kills 7.5million people worldwide each year; moreover, AIDS,diabetes, road accidents, and tuberculosis are put together. InIndia 23.1% men and 22.6% women have high BP a notchlower than the global prevalence of one in three adults saysthe World Health statistics 2012 released, 16 May 2012. Jain[3] established a decision making process phenomenon inthe presence of fuzzy variables. Poli et al. [4] developed aneural network expert system for diagnosing and treatinghypertension. Degani [5] discussed computerized electrocar-diogram diagnosis using fuzzy approach. Charbonnier et al.[6] proposed the statistical and fuzzy models of ambulatorysystolic blood pressure for hypertension diagnosis. Jena et al.[7] discussed the application of soft computing in medicalscience. Pandey et al. [8] proposed a rule based systemfor cardiac analysis based on electrocardiography. Further,Allahverdi et al. [9] proposed a fuzzy expert system forthe determination of coronary heart disease risk (CHD) ofpatient for the next ten years. Nalayini and Wahidabanu[10] were of the view that most of the cardiac diseasesare characterized by varied degrees of intricacy and theconventional procedures are not capable of dealing with theseintricacies very efficiently. Djam and Kimbi [1] developed a

fuzzy expert system for the management of hypertension.Recently, P. Srivastava and A. Srivastava [11] proposed a softcomputing diagnostic system to evaluate the risk factor forcoronary heart disease (CHD). Srivastava and Sharma [12]designed a soft computing diagnostic system that classifiesECG beats in different phases and enables us to identifythe status of cardiac health as per available ECG graphs.The present paper introduces a new soft computing modelthat measures risk factor on the basis of newly designedalgorithm; a number of cases have been discussed as peravailable database.
2. Methodology
For complex systems, fuzzy tools are quite suitable becauseof its tolerance to some imprecision. In the present study, theinputs consist of age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolicblood pressure (DBP), bodymass index (BMI), heart rate, lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL),triglyceride, smoking, and exercise, while the output is therisk grade of hypertension.
In order to design a user friendly informative system forevaluating risk percentage of hypertension, we propose fuzzyAlgorithm 1.
2.1. Input Variables
2.1.1. Blood Pressure. In this fieldwe use systolic BP (SBP) anddiastolic BP (DBP).The input variables for SBP andDBPwereclassified into seven fuzzy sets (see Table 1).

On the basis of our proposed technique to investigate thehealth status of a personwhosemedical data is available, threedifferent cases have been discussed as follows.
Case 1. The input variables of first patient are
(1) Age = {(0, young), (0.8, adult), (0,midaged), (0, aged),(0, old), (0, very old)}.
(2) LDL = {(0.71, normal), (0, above normal), (0, border-line high), (0, high), (0, very high)}.
ISRN Biomathematics 9
(3) HDL = {(0, very high), (0, high), (0, nearly normal),(1, normal)}.
(4) SBP = {(0, desirable), (0.8, above desirable), (0, mod-erate), (0, above moderate), (0, little high), (0, high),(0, very high)}.
(5) DBP = {(0, desirable), (1, above desirable), (0, moder-ate), (0, above moderate), (0, little high), (0, high), (0,very high)}.
(6) Triglyceride = {(0.72, normal), (0, a little bit high), (0,high), (0, very high)}.
(7) BMI = {(0, low), (0.99, medium), (0, above medium),(0, high), (0, very high), (0, very very high)}.
(8) HR = {(0, low), (0.86, normal), (0, high), (0, veryhigh)}.
(9) Exercise = {(1, low), (0, medium), (0, high), (0, veryhigh)}.
(10) Smoking = {(1, low), (0, medium), (0, high), (0, veryhigh)}.
This is the fuzzy set which represents the state of con-cerned patient:
𝑋 = {(0.71, 𝐽𝐴,𝑁,𝑁,𝐴𝐷,𝐴𝐷,𝑁,𝑀,𝑁,𝐿,𝐿
)} . (11)
The utility matrix 𝑈 of order 5𝑥 9031680 by using thefuzzy rule base designed is as follows:
𝑈 = (
98 95 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 10 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 10 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 05
68 80 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 20 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 30 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 10
30 25 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 45 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 62 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 40
20 20 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 92 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 90 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 86
10 10 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 55 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 20 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 95
) . (12)
The five fuzzy utilities are
(1) 𝑈1= {(0.71, 98)},
(2) 𝑈2= {(0.71, 68)},
(3) 𝑈3= {(0.71, 30)},
(4) 𝑈4= {(0.71, 20)},
(5) 𝑈5= {(0.71, 10)}.
The maximum sets corresponding to each alternative are
(1) 𝑈1m = {(1, 98)},
(2) 𝑈2m = {(0.69, 68)},
(3) 𝑈3m = {(0.30, 30)},
(4) 𝑈4m = {(0.20, 20)},
(5) 𝑈5m = {(0.10, 10)}.
Now, the optimal fuzzy utilities using fuzzy utilities andmaximizing sets are
(1) 𝑈1o = {(0.71, 98)},
(2) 𝑈2o = {(0.69, 68)},
(3) 𝑈3o = {(0.30, 30)},

(0.20, high) , and (0.10, very high)} .(13)
This optimal alternative indicates that the patientpresently is in very low grade of hypertension. The optimalalternatives have been graphically shown in Figure 1 in theform of Sugeno’s spikes.

(2) LDL = {(1, normal), (0, above normal), (0, borderlinehigh), (0, high), (0, very high)}.
(3) HDL= {(0, very high), (0.6, high), (0, nearly normal),(0, normal)}.
(4) SBP = {(0, desirable), (0.8, above desirable), (0, mod-erate), (0, above moderate), (0, little high), (0, high),(0, very high)}.
(5) DBP = {(0, desirable), (0.66, above desirable), (0,moderate), (0, above moderate), (0, little high), (0,high), (0, very high)}.
(6) Triglyceride = {(0.66, normal), (0, a little bit high), (0,high), (0, very high)}.
(7) BMI = {(0, low), (0, medium), (0.86, above medium),(0, high), (0, very high), (0, very very high)}.
(8) HR = {(0, low), (0.76, normal), (0, high), (0, veryhigh)}.
(9) Exercise = {(0, low), (0.79, medium), (0, high), (0,very high)}.
(10) Smoking = {(1, low), (0, medium), (0, high), (0, veryhigh)}.
This is the fuzzy set which represents the state of con-cerned patient:

(3) 𝑈3m = {(0.43, 35)},
(4) 𝑈4m = {(0.26, 24)},
(5) 𝑈5m = {(0.10, 10)}.

(3) 𝑈3o = {(0.43, 35)},
(4) 𝑈4o = {(0.26, 24)},

The utility matrix 𝑈 is the same as in Case 1.The five fuzzy utilities are
