“…In addition, the odds of high blood pressure were twice as high among women with diabetes as among women without diabetes. Diabetes may increase the risks and complications of high blood pressure ( 22 ). Although indigenous children were less likely than nonindigenous children to have obesity and other risk factors for high blood pressure, they had higher odds of high blood pressure in adjusted models.…”

is going through a nutrition transition, in which rates of overnutrition and noncommunicable diseases are increasing. What is added by this report? The prevalence of high blood pressure was high in a national sample of children aged 10 to 14 years and non-pregnant women aged 15 to 49 in Guatemala. Overweight and obesity were the strongest risk factors for high blood pressure identified thus far among these populations. What are the implications for public health practice? Obesity prevention and control programs might help prevent high blood pressure in children and reproductive-aged women in Guatemala.

“…An electronic blood pressure monitor was used (OMRON® model BF 500). Measurement was performed in duplicate, average between both measurements was taken following the technique described in equipment's manual and in Guidelines on the management of arterial hypertension and related comorbidities in Latin America [13]. An ideal parameter for systolic and diastolic pressure was <130/<80 mmHg, respectively, in agreement with the NOM-015-SSA2-2010 for blood pressure control in people with T2DM [14].…”

Aim: To perform a descriptive analysis of eating patterns and biophysical conditions of previously diagnosed and currently under treatment individuals from a semi-urban Mayan community of Yucatan, and to contrast them with T2DM therapeutic guidelines. Methods: The present study is derived from a randomized clinical trial conducted at Komchen, Yucatan. Participants' diagnosed with T2DM were included. A 24-hour dietary recall, anthropometric parameters (weight, visceral fat, height, and waist circumference), biochemical (HbA1c) and clinical (blood pressure) variables were evaluated and compared via hypothesis test with T2DM treatment cut-off points (based on World Health Organization criteria). Results: Anthropometric characteristics differ significantly from the ideal criteria. Obesity prevalence within women with T2DM was 92.9%. Only 21% of the participants were under T2DM control (≤7%). Energy and carbohydrates consumption, significantly exceed therapeutic guidelines, whereas protein, fat, and fiber intake were lower than the recommendations. Conclusions: Komchen's diet, concomitantly with food characteristics, could be related to glycemic decontrol. There is a disproportion in macronutrients consumption in favor of carbohydrates, probably associated with socioeconomic limitations, food availability, and price. Developing nutritional assistance programs which contemplate cultural and economic factors in this Mayan population must be taken into consideration.

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for global disease burden. Self-management of high blood pressure (BP) through self-monitoring and self-titration of medications, has proved to be one successful and cost-effective tool to achieve better BP control in many high-income countries but not much is known about its potential in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We used semi-structured questionnaires and focus groups in three LMICs; Peru, Cameroon and Malawi to examine perceptions and attitudes of patients diagnosed with essential hypertension towards living with hypertension, BP measurement and treatment, patient–physician relationship and opinions about self-management of high blood pressure. Results in all three countries were comparable. Patients showed varied levels of health literacy related to hypertension. BP measurement habits were mostly affected by resources available and caregiver support. Treatment and adherence to it were primarily affected by cost. Most patients were welcoming of the idea of self-management but skeptical about the ability to do self-monitoring accurately and the safety involving self-titration of medications.
