“…Awareness to own hypertension status in the present study was found to be higher (15.2%) as compared to 10% among tribals of Kerala found by Meshram et al, but less as compared to 25.1% found in study done by Anchala et al on hypertension systemic review and meta-analysis, among rural tribals. 9,21 Prevalence of hypertension is more in males, but the difference is not found to be significant. Nearly similar results were found in NNMB 2009 survey, where prevalence of hypertension in males was 25.2% and females 23% which is not significantly different from each other like our study.…”

“…23 But result was statically different among adult tribal men (45%) and women (36%) in study done by by Meshram et al in Kerala. 9 Prevalence of hypertension was significantly associated with age. Prevalence increases with age, hypertension was 5 times more common among 60 & above age group as compared to 20-29 yrs age group.…”

“…25 Meshram et al in tribals of Maharashtra found no relation between high and low socioeconomic group with hypertension. 26 But Laxmaiah et al, found higher prevalence of hypertension in lower per capita income groups. 18 Hypertension prevalence was similar in pure veg and mixed diet taking individuals in this study, similar result were found by Bhadoria et al in rural and urban population who found no significant effect of vegetarian diet and mixed diet on hypertension.…”

Background: Hypertension is the most recognized modifiable risk factor of CVD, stroke and end stage renal disease and it is directly responsible for 57% of all stroke and 24% of all coronary heart disease related deaths in India. There is paucity of data on hypertension among tribal population. Addiction of Nicotine and some cultural practices like alcohol intake is common in tribal, which are the known risk factor for NCDs. Therefore, the study of health status of tribal communities related to hypertension, is highly desirable and essential. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of hypertension and associate risk factors among non migratory tribal population. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from March 2015 to February 2016 among 762 adults aged 20-65 years who were non migratory residents of Mawai block of Mandla districts, and they were selected through multi stage random sampling method. Results: Hypertension prevalence was 27.1% among study population. 82.2% study subjects had never undergone for blood pressure check-up. Prevalence was significantly associated with high age group. It was slightly more among the study subjects taking mixed diet than to pure vegetarian. Smoking and alcohol intake was found to be significantly associated with hypertension. It was more prevalent among mild and sedentary workers and association was significant with BMI ≥25. Conclusions: In the study every fourth study individual is Hypertensive, where smoking (in any form) and obesity was found as commonest risk factor for it.

High blood pressure (BP) still remains one of the most relevant cardiovascular risk factors, also due to its persistently high prevalence and growing incidence in the general adult and elderly population. Since almost all hypertension-related cardiovascular complications, mostly including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and congestive heart failure, occurred in adult and elderly individuals, evidence on both prevalence and clinical management of hypertension in young individuals are lacking. Therefore, the clinical impact of high BP levels in young populations remains to be explored. In the recent years, the attitude of the scientific community has changed and more attention was devoted to young individuals with hypertension, also in view of the fact that early identification of these subjects may prevent developing of established hypertension in adulthood. In addition, unhealthy lifestyle habits have progressively involved children and adolescents worldwide, thus contributing to further increase the risk of developing hypertension in young individuals. On the basis of these considerations, the present review is aimed at providing a brief reappraisal of the major aspects of hypertension in the young age, as well as at promoting interest and discussion on this important issue.
