“…Furthermore, the overlap between diabetes and hypertension in the same individuals confers a greater risk of all target organ damages, general disability and premature mortality [7]. Moreover, the financial burden of the two conditions to patients, family and healthcare system is huge, particularly for the fragile developing economies [8]. High prevalence of hypertension, and more recently diabetes also, have been reported across developing countries in Africa, with people residing in urban settings being more affected [9,10].…”

BackgroundHypertension and diabetes mellitus are increasingly common in population within Africa. We determined the rate of coincident diabetes and hypertension and assessed the levels of co-awareness, treatment and control in a semi-urban population in Cameroon.MethodsA total of 1702 adults (967 women) self-selected from the community were consecutively recruited in Bafoussam (West region of Cameroon) during November 2012. Existing diabetes and hypertension and treatments were investigated and blood pressure and fasting blood glucose measured. Multinomial logistic regressions models were used to investigate the determinants of prevalent diabetes and hypertension.ResultsAge-standardized prevalence rates (95% confidence intervals) men vs. women were 40.4% (34.7 to 46.1) and 23.8% (20.4 to 27.2) for hypertension alone; 3.3% (1.5 to 5.1) and 5.6% (3.5 to 7.7) for diabetes alone; and 3.9% (2.6 to 5.2) and 5.0% (3.5 to 6.5) for hypertension and diabetes. The age-standardized awareness, treatment and control rates for hypertension alone were 6.5%, 86.4% and 37.2% for men, and 24.3%, 52.1% and 51.6% in women. Equivalent figures for diabetes alone were 35.4%, 65.6% and 23.1% in men and 26.4%, 75.5% and 33.7% in women; and those for hypertension and diabetes were 86.6%, 3.3% and 0% in men, and 74.7%, 22.6% and 0% in women. Sex, age and adiposity were the main determinants of the three conditions.ConclusionsCoincident diabetes and hypertension is as high as diabetes alone in this population, driven by sex, age and adiposity. Awareness, treatment and control remain unacceptably low.

“…4 and $132 billion, respectively [1,5]. The average annual costs for treatment were substantial: $2955-$3402 for patients with both conditions, $689-$2183 for patients with diabetes only and $724-$1803 for patients with hypertension only [6,7]. Thus, early detection and adequate control of these conditions have become important public health objectives.…”

“…Medical costs of the combined condition were higher than costs of hypertension or diabetes alone by 2.3-fold and 1.4-fold, respectively [19]. Amin et al [20] also reported the costs of Americans with hypertension and/or diabetes during 2 years between 1995 and 1997. Medical costs of the combined condition were higher than costs of hypertension or diabetes alone by 1.6-fold [20].…”

Medical costs of the combined condition were higher than costs of hypertension or diabetes alone by 1.6-fold [20]. Our results after 10 years of follow-up were similar to the previous results after short-term follow-up, although medical costs may differ between the United States and Japan.…”

“…To our knowledge, only a few studies have measured medical costs of individuals with both hypertension and diabetes compared with individuals with only one of these conditions, and the follow-up was short ( 2 years) [19,20]. A longer follow-up period, however, would be expected to provide a more accurate evaluation of medical costs, because many of the complications of hypertension and diabetes may require substantial time to develop [21,22].…”
