“…It has been demonstrated that among women high BP was significantly dependent on the age (U = 10,513.5; z = -5.117), BMI (U = 9,635; z = -5.832), WHR (U = 12,738; z = -2.888) and level of cholesterol (U = 2,827.5; z = -2268). Among men, the significant factors involved in the development of hypertension were age, BMI, and stress level [17].…”

“…Hypertension was characterized as BP ≥140 mmHg systolic and ≥90 mmHg diastolic BP. This is as per the joint national committee V criteria [4]. Participants having systolic and diastolic blood pressure less than the standard reading is considered to be normotensive, and participants with higher reading are considered to be hypertensive.…”

Objective: Hypertension is a global public health problem that estimates about 4.5% of overall disease burden. It is a general health challenge in economically developing and developed countries. High blood pressure prevalence is increased from 11.2% to 28% (p<0.001) and 23-42.2% in rural and urban area according to the study done in Delhi for about 20 years. It is one of the important risk factors of cardiovascular disease, which is associated with morbidity and mortality. The aim was to identify the significant correlates of hypertension in a rural village in south India.Methods: Data were collected through a door-to-door survey among the residents of the village. Data collected was related to demographics and anthropometric measures. Blood pressure was measured with the help of the medical supervisor. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test for comparison between attributes. The potential hazard factor of hypertension was found by performing binary logistic regression model. Result:Of 299 participants considered for the study, 50 were hypertensive contributing to the overall prevalence of 16.72% with 95% confidence interval of 0.1292-0.2137, in which females have the prevalence rate of 17.8% and males with the prevalence rate of 15.5%. The study outcome identified education level, occupation, and family history of hypertension is the predicted risk factors. Conclusion:The high blood pressure prevalence is low and comparable with the studies conducted in other rural regions of India. More studies are, however, required to decide the appropriation and determinants of hypertension in different parts of this region.

“…Furthermore, India is undergoing a rapid economic growth. This growth has been accompanied by lifestyle changes which have had a large impact on the health profile of India's citizens and placed a significant strain on the country's healthcare system (6,7) . Hence, a survey covering the major cities of all Indian states was undertaken to assess the Hypertension, associated factors and its management in the day to day clinical scenario in India.…”

Background: Hypertension prevalence in India is increasing significantly in last decade. An observational study was conducted to assess prevalence of Hypertension, its determinants like patient adherence to diet, exercise and pharmacotherapy in routine clinical practice. Methodology: A cross sectional, questionnaire based study was conducted to collect opinion among doctors in cardiology practice across India between January to April 2017. Convenient sampling method was used. Results: A questionnaire booklet titled 'HEART study (Experts Opinion on HypertEnsion And its tReatmenT)' was distributed to doctors who had given written informed consent to participate in the study. 442 completely filled booklets were assessed. The HEART study results highlights that 78% of doctors diagnosed >20 new cases of hypertension every month. Patient's adherence to physical activity and diet was rated as poor by 70% of doctors.. 67% respondents prescribed Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) and Telmisartan (52.7%) was most opted ARB followed by Olmesartan (24.5%) and Losartan (21%), Valsartan (1.8%). Majority of doctors (92%) opined that >60% of hypertensive patients require second drug to achieve goal BP and >1/5th of patients require third drug. Among hypertensive smokers, study participants chose Telmisartan (53%), followed by amlodipine (36%). Dyslipidemia (46%) was most common co-morbid condition seen by Doctors and 70.6% of doctors prescribed Atorvastatin for dyslipidemia. All Doctors opined that patients' awareness to hypertension was poor and counseling of patient's at least once a month was preferred by 92% of doctors. Conclusion: The 'HEART' study data demonstrates that current rates for awareness on hypertension, compliance to treatment is low. Telmisartan is commonly prescribed ARB by Doctors and Dyslipidemia is most common co-morbid condition witnessed in their practice. Increasing number of patients requires >1 drug for achieving goal BP. Emphasis on regular patient counseling on lifestyle modification, medication adherence and follow-up helps in better management of hypertension.
