“…The prevalence of hypertension in our study was almost similar to these studies. Our findings on prevalence of hypertension was consistent with most of the global data and neighbouring countries [3,26]. However, a population based study from Ethiopia reported the prevalence of hypertension of 43% at the age 60 to 69 years and 49.3% at the age 70 years and above [3,26].…”

Background: This study aimed to assess the prevalence, associated factors and awareness of hypertensive retinopathy among an elderly population with hypertension in Nepal Methods: A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted from 2013 to 2015 in Bhaktapur district, Nepal. The sample size was 2100 subjects age 60 years and above. From this sample, all diagnosed patients with hypertension were analyzed. A detailed history was obtained, and an ocular examination was performed. Blood sugar and blood pressure were measured. Result: Information was complete for 1860 (88.57%) subjects. The age ranged from 60 to 95 years with the mean ± SD age of 69.64±7.31 years. Hypertension was found in 643 subjects (34.61%), of which 224 (12.04%) were newly diagnosed cases. Hypertensive retinopathy was found in 81 cases (12.6%). Grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3 hypertensive retinopathy comprised 53 (65.43%), 19 (23.46%), and 9 (11.11%) cases, respectively. Hypertensive retinopathy was more frequent in the age group 70-79 years (15.23%) compared to other age groups, among males (13.25%), illiterates (13.56%), diabetics (16.49%), and those with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 (14%). However, none of the factors was found to be statistically significant. Among the subjects with hypertension, awareness of hypertension’s effects on the eyes, retina and vision was found in 13.84%, 8.4%, and 11.98% respectively. Conclusion: Prevalence of hypertension, hypertensive retinopathy and associated factors among an elderly population were similar to other countries. Awareness of hypertensive retinopathy was found in only 8.4%. Increased emphasis should be directed toward improving awareness campaigns.

“…There is a lack of data on the awareness of hypertensive retinopathy on a population level. Studies have reported low awareness also for hypertension globally [3,26]. This finding highlights the need for awareness campaigns that target populations with high rates of hypertension.…”

“…This study also analyzed the correlation between dyslipidemia and various factors. In addition to the common risk factors associated with dyslipidemia 10,24 , such as smoking, hypertension, and diabetes, this study also showed a positive correlation between a high school degree or above, a monthly income of more than 2000 yuan, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia. This may be due to the better economic and nutritional status of people with higher education and income 25 .…”

“…Despite its large population and high GDP, Southwest China had a low-ranking number of percutaneous coronary intervention 23 . Interestingly, contemporaneous studies 24,25 showed that the prevalence of hypertension(38.4%) and diabetes 19.5% in the Southwest was no lower than the national average hypertension 32.5% 26 ,diabetes 9.7% 27 . Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that the low prevalence of dyslipidemia and low LDL-C contribute to the lower ASCVD prevalence in southwest China.…”

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its related factors among adults aged 35 to 79 years in southwest China. From September 2013 to March 2014, a multi-stage, stratified sampling was conducted on 10221 people aged 35–79 years living in Chengdu and Chongqing by using the method of field questionnaire survey and measurement. The prevalence of high triglycerides (≥ 2.3 mmol/L), high total cholesterol (≥ 6.2 mmol/L), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (≥ 4.1 mmol/L), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (< 1.0 mmol/L), and dyslipidemia were 15.7%, 5.4%, 2.5%, 5.7%, and 27.4%, respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was positively correlated with higher education level, monthly income over 2000 yuan, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, overweight and obesity, and central obesity, and negatively correlated with daily physical exercise. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in southwest China is lower than the national average level, but on the rise, with high triglycerides as the main type of dyslipidemia.

“…The study protocol has been published, approved by the ethics committee of the Second People’s Hospital of Chengdu (NO 2013015), the methods in the study were in accordance with relevant guidelines, and a written informed consent was obtained from all participants 42 . Using three-stage (district-subdistrict-community) sampling procedures, five representative urban communities were randomly selected from five districts, including Jinjiang, Qingyang, Longquan district in Chengdu, and Yubei, Jiangbei district in Chongqing.…”

Hyperuricemia is prevalent throughout the world. However, a well-designed large-scale epidemiological investigation of hyperuricemia in southwestern China is lacking. A regional representative sample of 10,141 participants were included using multistage, stratified sampling in Chengdu and Chongqing from September 2013 to March 2014. Hyperuricemia was defined as the self-reported of the doctor's diagnosis of hyperuricemia, or serum uric acid > 420 μmol/L in men or serum uric acid > 360 μmol/L in women. The overall age- and sex-standardized prevalence of hyperuricemia among adults aged 35–79 years was 13.5%. Compared with women, the prevalence of hyperuricemia in men was higher (17.3% versus 10.0%). Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, overweight or obesity, central obesity were associated with an increased risk for hyperuricemia both in men and in women. Married men and women were not susceptible to hyperuricemia. Current cigarette smoking was an associated risk factor of hyperuricemia only in women. Hyperuricemia has become a major health problem among urban adults aged 35–79 years in southwestern China, and special attention should be paid to men. Comorbidities associated with hyperuricemia and causality worth further investigation.
