“…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.…”

“…A number of research have noted a link between prehypertension, people's lifestyles and alimentation [14,16,18,19,26,37,39]. Sedentarity lifestyle, not practicing at least 30 min daily walks, low physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption were associated with prehypertension [14,18,26,37,39]. Likewise, low fruit and vegetable intake not eating fruits and vegetables were risks factors for prehypertension [14,16,19].…”

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.

Background Hypertension and diabetes, two major risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases, are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Early detection through screening can initiate early treatment to reduce adverse outcomes. The current study sought to investigate the correlates of blood pressure and blood glucose screenings in Cameroon. Methods We used secondary data from the 2018 Cameroon Demographic and Health Survey. Adjusting for a complex sample design, we performed multivariate prevalence ratio estimates of the blood pressure and blood glucose screenings. Results Approximately 60% and 30% of Cameroonians had undergone blood pressure and blood glucose screenings, respectively. More females (68%) had undergone blood pressure screenings compared with their male counterparts (44.1%). In the multivariate model, gender, age, education, marital status, household wealth index and region of residence were significantly associated with both blood pressure and blood glucose screenings in the full sample. Previous blood pressure screening was associated with an increased likelihood of blood glucose screening and vice versa. A modification effect of gender was observed in the association between the correlates and both outcomes. Conclusion Our findings uncovered individuals with a decreased likelihood for blood pressure and blood glucose screenings and this can inform policy decisions to ensure targeted screening aimed at early detection and management.

“…The information found in this study is consistent with the results of previous studies in Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa. It is informed that in the study that obesity or overweight, low physical activity, and consumption of fatty foods increase the risk of hypertension [12][13][14] . Not only in adults, but previous studies have also informed that obesity in children and adolescents has also been found to increase the risk of hypertension 15 .…”

Hypertension is a degenerative disease that is often found in conjunction with other degenerative diseases. The study was aimed at analyzing ecologically the factors related to the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia. The study was conducted using secondary data from the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Survey. All provinces were taken as samples. Apart from the prevalence of hypertension, 4 other variables analyzed as independent variables were the prevalence of obesity, the percentage of the population with less physical activity, the percentage of daily smokers, and the percentage of the population with salty food consumption habits ≥ 1 per day. Data were analyzed using a scatter plot. The results of the study found that the higher the prevalence of obesity in a province, the higher the prevalence of hypertension in that province. The higher the percentage of the population with less physical activity in a province, the higher the prevalence of hypertension in that province. The higher the percentage of daily smokers in a province, the higher the prevalence of hypertension in that province. The higher the percentage of the population with salty food consumption habits ≥ 1 per day, the higher the prevalence of hypertension in that province. It was concluded that the four independent variables analyzed ecologically were positively related to the prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia.
