“…Further detail on the weights applied is available elsewhere. 19 Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for awareness, treatment and control of hypertension. Purposeful selection of variables for inclusion in the regression models was based on independent variables which were significant on bi-variate analysis and/or deemed of importance in the literature.…”

A B S T R AC TBackground To assess the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension among adults in Ireland and to describe the determinants of awareness, treatment and control in order to inform public health policy.Methods A cross-sectional study of a nationally representative sample of community living adults aged 50 years and older using data collected Conclusions A high prevalence of hypertension was identified in this cohort, with low levels of awareness, treatment and control. Population and primary care interventions are required to reduce prevalence and to improve awareness, detection and management of hypertension.

“…These individuals were invited to take part in a health assessment in 2011 which mimicked that of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) and included an active stand test [13] [14]. A short-form version of the TILDA computer aided personal interview (CAPI) was administered during this assessment to provide demographic and self-reported health and socioeconomic information.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the test-retest reliability of orthostatic beat-to-beat blood pressure responses to active standing and related clinical definitions of orthostatic hypotension. MethodsA random sample of community dwelling older adults from the pan-European Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, Ireland underwent a health assessment which mimicked that of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. An active stand test was performed using continuous blood pressure measurements. Participants attended a repeat assessment 4-12 weeks after the initial measurement. A mixed-effects regression model estimated the reliability and minimum detectable change while controlling for fixed observer and time of day effects. ResultsA total of 125 individuals underwent repeat assessment (mean age 66.2±7.5;55.6% women).Mean time between visits was 84.3±23.3 days. There was no significant mean difference in heart rate or blood pressure recovery variables between the first and repeat assessments.Minimum detectable change was noted for changes from resting values in systolic blood pressure(26.4mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure(13.7mmHg) at 110 seconds and for changes in heart rate(10.9bpm) from resting values at 30 seconds after standing. Intra-class correlation values ranged from 0.47 for nadir values to 0.80 for heart rate and systolic blood pressure values measured 110 seconds after standing. ConclusionContinuous orthostatic beat-to-beat blood pressure and related clinical definitions show moderate reliability and substantial natural variation over a 4-12 week period.Understanding variation in measures is essential for study design or estimating the effects of orthostatic hypotension, while clinically it can be used when evaluating longer term treatment effects.

“…The derived estimates are therefore nationally representative of the Irish population aged 50 years and over. A more detailed description of TILDA survey methodology, weighting, and sample design is available elsewhere (Whelan & Savva, 2013). Ethical approval for the study was granted by the Trinity College Dublin Research Ethics Committee.…”
