“…Some studies showed an association between prehypertension and age [16,19,23,27,37,39]. The association between prehypertension and sex has been demonstrated in various studies [14,19,22,27,30,39]. Almost all of these studies have noted that the risk of developing prehypertension was higher in males than female.…”

Background: Hypertension is one of the major factors for high mortality of adults in Africa. However, complications occur at lower values than those previously classified as hypertension. Thus, prehypertension is considered as a new category of hypertension and a major risk factor for developing clinical hypertension relative to those with normotension, it has been linked with increased future risk of hypertension as well as cardiovascular diseases.Objectives: The objective of this review was to determine prevalence of prehypertension and describe the associated factors of prehypertension in Africa during the past 10 years. Methods:We did a systematic review using the databases PubMed/Medline, and search engine google scholar. We selected sources of publications and conducted an analysis of articles. Keywords in English were: prehypertension, high normal blood pressure, high blood pressure, elevated blood pressure, Africa. Keywords in french were: préhypertension artérielle, préhypertension, pression artérielle normale haute, pression artérielle normale, Afrique.Mesh terms were: Prehypertension, Africa.Results: Twenty-seven articles were selected. Prevalence of prehypertension ranged from 2.5% to 34% in children and adolescents. In adults, prevalence varied from 32.9% to 56.8%. Several factors were associated with prehypertension in Africa. These factors included: age; sex; lifestyle such as smoking, alcohol consumption, low physical activity, overweight and obesity. There were also cardiometabolic factors and few others factors which were associated with prehypertension. Conclusion:This review allowed us to observe that the prevalence of prehypertension was variable according to age of the population and prehypertension is associated with several factors.

INTRODUCTIONThe study aimed to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of coexisting prehypertension (PreHTN) and prediabetes (PreDM) among adults in Ecuador. METHODS Cross-sectional data from the Ecuador STEPS 2018 survey were analyzed for 3608 persons, aged 18-69 years (median: 39; IQR: 25), who had complete blood glucose and pressure data, were non-pregnant, without cardiovascular disease, and responded to interview and physical and biomedical measures. RESULTS Of the 3608 individuals, 247 (6.5%) had coexisting PreHTN and PreDM, 1353 (39.9%) had both normoglycemia and normotension, 823 (23.2%) had PreHTN only, and 321 (7.5%) had PreDM only. Compared to the group with both normoglycemia and normotension, older age (50-69 years), male sex, obesity, and elevated total cholesterol (TC) increased the risk, while having secondary education level decreased the risk of coexisting
