“…24 A study conducted by Papathanasiou et al found that body mass index and male gender had higher odds of being hypertensive in this age group. 23 Similar findings were postulated by study conducted by Bruno et al 25 In our study, we found a higher prevalence of hypertension in males when compared to females, but it did not attain the level of significance. Similar results were reported by a study conducted by Reddy et al 27 But, a study conducted by Papathanasiou et al found higher prevalence of hypertension in males when compared to females.…”

“…29,[31][32][33][34] After logistic analysis, age and overweight category were found to be independent risk factors associated with hypertension. Similar inferences were found by Papathanasiou et al and Bruno et al 23,25 Some studies conducted on pre hypertension as the outcome variable also found similar results. In our study, physical activity was found not associated with hypertension, but study conducted by Papathanasiou et al found physical activity to be protective for hypertension.…”

Background: Hypertension is a silent killer and global public health problem. With the advent of globalization affecting the lifestyle of the population, non-communicable diseases like hypertension, diabetes etc. is affecting the young adults (18 to 40 years). The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors among young adults (18 to 40 years) attending a tertiary care centre of Nagpur.Methods: This was a cross sectional study on 370 participants of age 18 to 40 years attending the outpatient department of urban health training centre in Nagpur. Data was collected using pretested and pre designed questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were done by standard guidelines. Blood pressure was measured using sphygmomanometer in sitting position. Data was analyzed using Epi info version 7.2. Chi square test/ fisher’s exact test has been used to find the difference between two proportions. Unadjusted odds ratio was calculated for various risk factors studied. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was done to calculate the adjusted odds ratio. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was found to be 23.24%. The prevalence was higher among males (25%) when compared to females (22.3%). Body mass index and waist hip ratio were significantly higher among the hypertensive when compared to normotensive study population (p<0.01). For every one year increase in age, the odds ratio increases by 1.06 (1.02 to 1.09) and the subjects who were overweight were having 2.15 odds of being hypertensive. Conclusions: We found a high prevalence of hypertension among the adults of age group of 18 to 40 years. The population with high body mass index, high waist to hip ratio and age group of 30 to 40 years were found to be associated with hypertension. Early surveillance and prompt treatment forms will help in decreasing the cardiovascular risk of young adults in near future.

It has been widely reported that hypertension prevalence has been continuously and progressively growing during the last decades worldwide, due to ageing of the population, improved survival after cardiovascular events, environmental factors and ameliorated socio-economic condition of the population in large regions of the planet. However, levels of blood pressure (BP) control in treated hypertensive patients have been substantially unchanged for years, ranging between approximately 33-47 % in most European countries [1], despite an improved awareness of the disease. In Italy, analysis of observational studies and clinical surveys performed in various clinical settings during 10-year observational period (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) showed that only 37 % of treated hypertensive patients achieved the recommended BP targets [2]. According to these reports, in the last few years several interventions have been undertaken at various levels for improving BP control rates in our Country, as well as in other parts of the world. All these educational and clinical interventions shared several common features, mostly the systematic and thorough assessment of the secular trends in prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in the general population and the progressive and extended involvement of general practitioners (and their medical databases) in the clinical management of hypertension. This large amount of data can be used to provide a rough estimation of the burden of hypertension in various Countries in a setting of real life.Among these opportunities, World Hypertension Day (WHD) can be viewed as an useful opportunity for providing interesting insights. WHD is a worldwide initiative of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) and World Hypertension League (WHL) with the active participation of various international and national societies. This is aimed at focusing population and media attention on the problem of hypertension and the potential lifethreatening consequences of uncontrolled hypertension. During these one-day events, open checkpoints are made available to people in public spaces or hospital areas to measure BP levels, verify awareness and control of individual BP, and, finally, evaluate presence or absence of other hypertension-related clinical conditions and risk factors. These consultations are totally free and offered by different professional figures from the health care system, who have been trained in measuring BP levels according to recommendations from international guidelines [3]. This provides a unique opportunity to access to the ''man in the street'' and obtain real-life data on hypertension awareness and control.Using these findings, for example, we were recently able to investigate hypertension prevalence, awareness and control in a very large sample of more than 10,000 adult individuals, mostly women, who were stratified into three time periods

Association Between Lifestyle and Systemic Arterial Hypertension in Young Adults: A National, Survey-Based, Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: High BP values were found in 11 % young adults. Male sex, adiposity and alimentary habits were the main determinants of high BP values, indicating that young men are a suitable target for healthy lifestyle interventions.
