“…Adolescent rates of overweight/obesity in The Bahamas are definitely unacceptable as they mirror the high prevalence of overweight/obesity and a relatively high prevalence of EBP that exist in the adult population. This estimated prevalence of EBP was also consistent with other studies regionally [EBP of 14%], and globally ranging from 2.9%-24% (5,6,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). The means for SBP and DBP in this study were lower than those found in Suriname and Tobago (5, 6).…”

“…Generally, logistic regression was used to calculate the age-adjusted odds ratio for hypertension and the 95% confidence interval (CI). [21][22][23][24][26][27][28] Maffeis et al 29 performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis with backward stepping of variables and an evaluation of the model using three goodness of fit X 2 statistics, whereas Addo et al 13 used both univariate and multivariate regression models to calculate the odds ratio for hypertension. Barger and Muldoon 25 used the ordinal regression model, the cumulative odds model to evaluate differences in self-rated health as a function of hypertension status, labelling which further provides an extension of logistic regression for determining the odds ratios.…”

“…Furthermore, there is a high correlation between BP and growth of stature, weight and sexual maturity. 28,48,49 Voors et al 50 emphasize the need to define hypertension on several basal BP values as related to body weight and body dimensions rather than by age. Katz et al 51 reported that the variation of BP is closely related to growth and maturation in adolescents and children.…”

This paper examines the epidemiology of hypertension and management strategies of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in paediatric populations in sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world in the 21st century. A computerized literature search was carried out using Medline, Evidence-Based Child Health (A Cochrane Review Journal), the Cochrane Library and Cochrane Child Health Field. A manual search in the African Journal for physical, health education, recreation and dance, the South African Journal for Research in Sports, Physical Education and Recreation and a few individuals in the area were requested to send some of their recent unpublished and published reports in the field.High prevalence rates and high odds ratios for high blood pressure (BP) were recorded in children aged 5-17 years. There is a need for health ministries to improve the public health sector so as to close the gap between the rich and the poor. Although personal and parental responsibility remain crucial, it also falls on the government to help control powerful environmental factors that are leading our children to premature ill-health and mortality. Equally, health professionals are increasingly recognized that they have a significant role to play in delivering medical treatment of hypertension in children.

Napjainkban a hypertonia népbetegségnek tekinthető már az egész világon. A magas vérnyomásban szenvedő egyé-nek száma egyre nő és a hypertonia okozta kockázat, megbetegedés és halálozás a legkorszerűbb terápia ellenére sem csökken kellő mértékben. Népbetegségként a hypertonia népegészségügyi kérdéssé vált. A prevencióhoz, illetve a hatékony ellátáshoz számos tulajdonság, vizsgálati adat és a terápia integrált adatsora szükséges. Mindezek hiánya vetette fel annak a szükségességét, hogy olyan adatbázis kerüljön létrehozásra, amelynek elemzésével a feltett kérdé-sek megválaszolhatóvá válnak. Az adatok regiszterbe gyűjtésére és feldolgozására a Magyar Hypertonia Társaság vállalkozott először 2002-ben. A Magyar Hypertonia Regiszterbe eddig négy alkalommal történt adatfelvétel (2002, 2005, 2007, 2011), és jelenleg 108 473 beteg adatát tartalmazza. Az adatok alapján a magyarországi hypertoniás betegek 80%-a nagy vagy nagyon nagy cardiovascularis kockázatú csoportba tartozik. A regiszter adataival követni lehetett a magyarországi hypertoniás populáció cardiovascularis kockázatát és az alkalmazott antihipertenzív terápia hatékonyságát. A nemzetközi tapasztalatok is bizonyítják, hogy a hypertoniaregiszter létrehozása támogathatja a népegészségügyi programok eredményességét. Számunkra a Magyar Hypertonia Regiszter program is ezt igazolta. A továbblépéshez egyénileg azonosítható regiszterre lenne szükség, a megfelelő adatkezelési szabályozás és az evidenciákon alapuló szakmai irányelvek alkalmazása mellett. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(19), 764-768.Kulcsszavak: magasvérnyomás-betegség, betegregiszter, cardiovascularis kockázat, vérnyomáscsökkentő terápia, népegészségügyi program Hungarian Hypertension RegistryToday, hypertension is considered endemic throughout the world. The number of individuals with high blood pressure and the increasing risk, morbidity and mortality caused by hypertension despite modern therapy do not decrease suffi ciently. Hypertension has become a public health issue. Prevention and effective care require integrated datasets about many features, clinical presentation and therapy of patients with hypertension. The lack of this database in Hungary prompted the development of the registry which could help to provide population-based data for analysis. Data collection and processing was initiated by the Hungarian Society of Hypertension in 2002. Data recording into the Hungarian Hypertension Registry was performed four times (2002, 2005, 2007, 2011) and the registry currently contains data obtained from 108,473 patients. Analysis of these data indicates that 80% of the patients belong to the high or very high cardiovascular risk group. The registry provides data on cardiovascular risk of the hypertensive populations and the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy in Hungary. Based on international experience and preliminary analysis of data from the Hungarian Hypertension Registry, establishment of hypertension registry may support the effectiveness of public health programs. A further step would be needed ...
