Investigating the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors in a population-based study: Fasa PERSIAN COHORT data

Abstract

Background A high prevalence rate of hypertension (HTN) and its subsequent serious complications made this disease a major health-treatment concern in many societies. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors in Fasa PERSIAN COHORT in south of Iran in 2019. Methods This was an analytical-cross sectional study. The study population were the individuals covered by Fasa cohort. Information of the first phase of Fasa Persian cohort in south of Iran was used in this study. Independent t test, chi-square test, analysis of variances, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple stepwise regression were used to analyze the obtained data. Thereafter, the data was analyzed using SPSS software version 22, and P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results Out of 10,111 individuals included in the study, 5546 (54.86%) subjects were women and 4565 (45.16%) other were men. The overall prevalence rate of hypertension was estimated as 46.6%. In the present study, (16/1%) of the participants were with HTN stage 1, and (17/9%) of them were with HTN stage 2. The results show that there were significant positive correlations among HTN and age, BMI, HDL, TG, BUN, ALP, smoking, physical activity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and renal failure (P < 0.5). Conclusions Prevalence of HTN in this study population is considerable. Therefore, it is suggested that health system should program some plans to prevent hypertension’s prevalence and eliminate its risk factors.

Can anthropometric indices predict the chance of hypertension? A multicentre cross-sectional study in Iran

“… 32 Relatively higher BP was reported in the Fasa cohort study in 2020. 10 The authors have reported a prevalence of 16.1% for stage 1 HTN and 17.9% for stage 2. In more detail, systolic HTN had a prevalence of 7.6% and 7.6% in men and 8.5% and 10.3% in women for stages I and II, respectively.…”

“…The first and the second stages of HTN were detected in 16.1% and 17.9% of the population, respectively. 10 In a meta-analysis by Afsargharehbagh et al , 11 including 48 studies on 417 392 individuals, pre-HTN and HTN had an overall prevalence rate of 31.6% and 20.4%, respectively. 11 …”

Risk factors and Interaction analysis of Hypertension in People who were Overweight and obesity:Based on Machine Learning and Data Mining

“…The people who were Overweight and obesity have special clinical metabolic types, and can cause various diseases including hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, cardiovascular diseases and various types of malignant tumors. Overweight and obesity are themselves a risk factor for hypertension [6,13] . Whether they are healthy metabolism or unhealthy metabolism, the risk of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension is very high [14,15] .…”

Identification of risk factors for hypertension in overweight and obese people and analysis of risk factor interactions: An R-based analysis

“…Overweight and obese people have special clinical metabolic characteristics and complications, including hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and various types of malignant tumors [12] . Overweight and obesity are risk factors for hypertension [6,13] , and the risk of cardiovascular diseases is high in people with healthy or unhealthy metabolic states [14,15] . The overweight and obese populations have different clinical and metabolic characteristics; therefore, the risk factors for hypertension in overweight and obese people and their interactions should be explored from the perspective of etiology.…”
