“…It might be considered that young patients have more adverse life styles and habits than older patients. A study in Iran shows that the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension increased with age 26 , and a study in Senegal has similar results 27 . Age is a powerful risk factor for the development of hypertension 28 .…”

Hypertension not only has a high prevalence, but also brings disease burden to the affected patients. To assess the level of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in the northeast of China, we investigated the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension and identified its related factors among hypertensive patients aged 18 to 59 years old in Jilin, China. The data (n = 4632) for the present study were extracted from a cross-sectional study in Jilin. Among individuals with hypertension, the standardized rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were 44.9%, 36.5%, 24.3%, respectively. The rates of awareness and treatment of hypertension among middle aged patients were higher than those among young patients. Compared to patients with normal Body Mass index (BMI), obese hypertensive patients had a higher rate of treatment (43.7% vs. 25.9%) and a lower rate of control (18.9% vs. 29.6%). Compared to patients with normal BMI, patients who were obese were more likely to take measures to treat hypertension (OR = 2.50, 95%CI: 2.05–3.05); but were less likely to have well-controlled blood pressure (OR = 0.55, 95%CI: 0.40–0.78). BMI is one of the influencing factors of hypertension awareness, treatment and control among patients 18 to 59 years old with hypertension.

“…Again according to this same meta-analysis, 27% of hypertensive people were aware of their hypertensive status, 18% were receiving treatment, and only 7% had controlled blood pressure. In Senegal, only one recent research, limited in scope, has been conducted on this issue among the adult population living in Dakar, yielding similar figures: in 2009, prevalence of HTN, awareness, treatment and control were 27.50%, 27.88%, 16.97% and 5.45%, respectively [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Hypertension and Obesity in Dakar, Senegal

BackgroundCardiovascular disease is a major public health problem in many sub-Saharan African countries, but data on the main cardiovascular risk factors–hypertension and obesity–are almost nonexistent in Senegal. The aims of this study were therefore (i) to report the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension among adults in Dakar, (ii) to assess the prevalence of general and central obesity, and (iii) to analyze the association between hypertension and general and central obesity.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out in 2015 on a representative sample of 1000 dwellers of the Senegalese capital aged 20–90.ResultsThe overall prevalence of hypertension was 24.7%. Among hypertensive respondents, 28.4% were aware of their condition; 16.0% were on antihypertensive medication; 4.9% had controlled blood pressure. The frequency of doctor visits was a significant predictor of awareness (OR = 2.16; p<0.05) and treatment (OR = 2.57; p<0.05) of hypertension. The prevalence of underweight, overweight and general obesity were 12.6%, 19.2% and 9.7% respectively. The prevalence of central obesity was 26% by WC and 39.8% by WHtR. General obesity and central obesity by WHtR significantly predicted HTN among men and women, but not central obesity by WC.ConclusionsThis study has demonstrated a high prevalence of hypertension in Dakar and a high prevalence of obesity among women–particularly among older women. The awareness, treatment, and effective control of hypertension are unacceptably low. The blood pressure of women with general obesity, and men with central obesity, in the community should be monitored regularly to limit the burden of cardiovascular disease in Senegal.

“…At the continental level, it is clear that the difference between national prevalence and that of sub-Saharan countries remains significant, since hypertension affects 28% of the sub-Saharan population [3]. Indeed, the rates of hypertensives aged 20 and over respectively reach 15.1%, 23.9%, 27.50%, 28% and 31.1%, in Cameroon, South Africa, Senegal, in Zimbabwe and Tanzania [20]. It appears from the comparisons made previously, that the prevalence of hypertension in Morocco is close to that of neighboring countries, it becomes lower in going up north and higher in relation to the country of the south.…”

“…Morocco is a country experiencing a double transition, demographic and nutritional giving rise to a high prevalence of hypertension, maintained by economic, social, nutritional and environmental factors and which is accentuated in combination with communicable and infectious diseases [20]. The present work consists of the elaboration of a bibliographic review examining the work done on the prevalence of hypertension and related factors in Morocco.…”

HTA is a major public health problem worldwide. Indeed, previous studies have reported that 26.4% of the adult population was hypertensive, for an estimated total of 972 million people: 333 million in developed countries and 639 million in developing countries. For the year 2025, researchers estimated that 29.2% of the adult population will be hypertensive, which represents 1.56 billion individuals, leading by consequent to an increase of 60% in 25 years. In addition, the morbidity and the mortality caused by this disease is increasing in a remarkable way in the developing countries. In Morocco hypertension prevalence data are very scare and limited, the national survey of the Ministry of Health conducted in 2000, reveals a prevalence of 33.6%; a rate that remains high as in other Maghreb or in Mediterranean countries. With regard to the factors involved in this epidemiological situation, it is clear that the radical and irreversible change in lifestyle has contributed significantly to the increase in chronic disease rates, including hypertension. The other main factors could be summarized as: age, food, sedentary lifestyle. It should be noted that there is a almost absence of studies on the prevalence of hypertension and the associated factors in Morocco, which in itself is a limiting factor for understanding the etiology of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in Morocco remains high, investigations carried out in this context could improve scientific knowledge and thus, contribute to the prevention and control of the various factors associated with this disease. The objective of this work is to summarize the published work, in relation with the prevalence of hypertension and associated factors in Morocco.
