“…39,40 Another limitation is that undiagnosed hypertension and other risk factors were not accounted for, since 6.4% of respondents admitted never having their BP measured. A major drawback to our study is the absence of any clinical measurement for the documentation of hypertension; however, several studies carried out both nationally 41 and internationally [42][43][44][45][46] to assess the validity of self-reported chronic diseases including hypertension revealed a moderate to substantial agreement between questionnaire data and either clinical examinations 42,43 or medical records. [44][45][46] A study carried out in Beirut 41 to assess the agreement between selfreported morbidity and physical examination, revealed that heart disease had the highest agreement followed by hypertension and concluded that the health interview survey was reasonably accurate for data collection of chronic conditions, which are clearly defined for the population.…”

The prevalence of hypertension and its association with other cardiovascular disease risk factors in a representative sample of the Lebanese population

Hypertension is a well-known major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. This study has been designed to assess the prevalence of hypertension, its cooccurrence with other cardiovascular risk factors and its association with cardiovascular diseases in a representative sample of Lebanese population. A pretested questionnaire was administered to 2125 adults aged equal or above 30 years old from all regions in Lebanon and proportionate with the respective population density. Data revealed that 23.1% of the respondents admitted being hypertensive, with no statistically significant difference between male and female patients. Prevalence of hypertension increased with age (Po0.01) and hypertension tended to occur more in the less educated and the unemployed (Po0.01). Only 45.7% of hypertensive patients followed a low fat diet while 14.7% exercised daily. The prevalence of hypertension increased significantly with an increase in body mass index particularly in female patients. Among the hypertensive respondents, 23.9% were diabetic, 38.1% were hyperlipidaemic and 9.1% were both diabetic and hyperlipidaemic. Co-occurrence of hypertension with diabetes, hyperlipidaemia or both was more common in female patients compared to male patients. In addition, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) and atherothrombosis occurred in hypertensive respondents at rates of 2.4, 4.3 and 9.5%, respectively. Hypertensive female patients reported more stroke and atherothrombotic episodes compared to male patients, whereas hypertensive male patients had more MIs. Based on these results it is very important to address the issue of lifestyle modification for the prevention and treatment of hypertension and awareness campaigns should stress the fact that cardiovascular diseases are not only restricted to men.

“…As the performance of questionnaires may be affected by issues like recall bias, unawareness of the disease, or misinterpretation of the questions, self-reported data may be inadequate to reflect the true prevalence of a disease. In a study performed in Olmsted County, Minnesota, with 2037 participants aged ≥45 years, the sensitivity and positive predictive value of self-reported DM were 66.0% and 94.3%, respectively [25]. However, the CADEUS study in France reported a sensitivity and positive predictive value of self-reported DM of 86.7% and 73.4%, respectively [26].…”

The aim of this study was to determine and compare the prevalence of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Sami and non-Sami men and women of rural districts in Northern Norway. The SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey is a cross-sectional population-based study performed in 2012–2014 in 10 municipalities of Northern Norway. A total of 12,455 Sami and non-Sami inhabitants aged 40–79 years were invited to participate and 5878 were included in the analyses. Participants with self-reported T2DM and/or a glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) result ≥6.5% were categorised as having T2DM. Those with 5.7%≤HbA1c<6.5% were categorised as pre-diabetics. In men, the total age-standardised prevalence of pre-diabetes (37.9% vs 31.4%) and T2DM (10.8% vs 9.5%) were higher in Sami compared with non-Sami; the ethnic difference was statistically significant for both pre-diabetes (OR 1.42, p < 0.001) and T2DM (OR 1.31, p = 0.042). In women, pre-diabetes (36.4% vs 33.5%) and T2DM (8.6% vs 7.0%) were also more common in Sami than non-Sami; the differences in both pre-diabetes (OR 1.20, p = 0.025) and T2DM (OR 1.38, p = 0.021) were also statistically significant. The observed ethnic difference in the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was a plausible explanation for the ethnic difference in the prevalence of pre-diabetes and T2DM.

“…Self-reports of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes are likely related to one's access to health care, though we controlled statistically for variations in access to care by controlling for health insurance status and having a usual source of care. Furthermore, several studies have reported agreement between self-reported diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and alcohol consumption and medical record data or biochemical measures [72][73][74][75]. There is less agreement between selfreported high cholesterol and medical record data [76].…”
