Background: Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Though generally believed to be a disease of the adults, It has been shown to start in early life and tracks through adolescence into adulthood. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension and associated factors among adolescents in Ekiti State. Materials and Methods: The study was a cross sectional survey involving 416 secondary school adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. A 'twostage' sampling technique was used to select the subjects. Facilitated self-administered questionnaire was used for the study. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Level of significance was set at P<0.05. Results: A total of 416 students participated in the study. Prevalence of hypertension was 10.1% with male and female prevalence rates of 5.8% and 14.4% respectively (P=0.004). Hypertension was higher among adolescents with BMI ≥ the 85 th percentile for age and sex compared to those with lower BMI (P=0.004). There was a weak positive correlation between BMI and blood pressure in the study (Systolic r=0.33, P=0.001: diastolic r=0.31, P=0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that hypertension is not a rare phenomenon among adolescents and that female gender and high BMI were the main risk factors for adolescent hypertension in this study.

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com were the third cause of death representing 120.30 per 100,000 population in Burkina Faso. In Nigeria, a neighborhoods country, the prevalence of hypertension among adults fluctuated from 2.1% to 47.2% in a sample of 400 participants [8], whereas in Ghana the prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension was 30.7% and 42.4%, respectively in a sample of 6,000 participants [9]. In a sample of 1,431 participants aged 18 years or older, the study older [10]. Uncovered that 40% were pre-hypertensive. Prevalence and risk factors are preventable with educational approaches. In recent years, studies have assessed intrapersonal factors such as age, sex, waist circumference, body mass index, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels as risk profiles for prehypertension in adults [11,12]. Furthermore, extrapersonal factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and high sodium diets are also attributed to increased risk profiles [12,13]. Knowledge of intrapersonal and extrapersonal risk factors for pre-hypertension can then be used to shift the effects of foremost risks associated with the disease. These factors are also measurable upon investigation and might be responsive to early intervention. Identifying the intrapersonal and extrapersonal risk profiles is an essential precondition for selecting effective prevention measures and decreasing the major cardiovascular diseases. However, in West African countries, none study guided by a Neuman Systems Model has assessed the intrapersonal and extrapersonal risk factors for pre-hypertension, especially among adults in Burkina Faso. Guided by Neuman Systems Theoretical Framework [14] (Figure 1). Intrapersonal (i.e., physiological, psychological, developmental, and spiritual variables) and extrapersonal (i.e., sociocultural variable) risk factors can affect the stability of adult system's health [14]. Thus, the aim of this study was ascertain the correlated and predictive intrapersonal and extrapersonal risk factors for pre-HTN among adults in urban health districts. Guiding theoretical framework: Neuman Systems Model Origin of the Neuman Systems ModelThe Neuman Systems Model (NSM) was developed in 1970 by Betty Neuman and was first published in Nursing Research Journal in 1972 [15]. The philosophical and theoretical underpinnings are based on the general systems theory [16], the wholeness of life [17], the field theory [18] and the typology of prevention as interventions [19]. In addition, the model was undergirded by the theory of stress and adaptation [20], and the theory of stress and coping [21]. Neuman (1970) provided a wholistic perspective for nursing assessment and directions for actions to stabilize a person health. The Worldview of Neuman Systems ModelNeuman's model is based on the philosophy that emphasizes the wholism in human beings. In this perspective of wholistim and nursing caring, Neuman added spirituality to the model as an innate component of the human being that interrelates with all the other ...

Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the major causes of mortality and morbidity globally. Knowledge about NCDs and their risk factors are not only considered critical in NCDs prevention and management, but hold the potential to reduce the burden. This cross-sectional descriptive study was aimed at determining NCDs knowledge level and risk factors prevalence among adult population in Delta State. A semi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from the participants and was then subjected to data analysis using of SPSS version 20. Findings shows low knowledge of NCDs and its risk factors with only 16.66% having good knowledge of NCDs and 12.17% good knowledge level of its risk factors. Prevalence profile of the risk factors among the participants revealed varied responses, with four risks factors showing high prevalence value of above 20%: sedentarism (23.96%); high fast foods consumption (39.79%); inadequate fruit and vegetable (37.70%); excess soft drinks consumption (62.71%). Hypertension was the most self -reported NCDs among the studied population (43.75%); followed by arthritis and low back pain (23.13%); Bronchial asthma (20.42%) and diabetes (8.54%). These findings revealed clustering of NCDs risk factors among the studied population, thus an expected increase in NCDs burden consequently. Since most of these risk factors can be reduced by behavioral modifications, population -wide education on NCDs and its risks factors as well as the strengthening of existing Primary health care centers for early detection of NCDs is herewith suggested.
