“…Table 1 shows that hypertensive patients who have cardiovascular complications are patients who have a history of not taking antihypertensive drugs. The results of this study are consistent with the results of the study of Yausef et al (2019) who found that only 30.7% of men and 35.1% of women who took antihypertensive drugs controlled their blood pressure. Inability to consume drugs of antihypertension has been a factor associated with the incidence of cardiovascular complications in patients with hypertension in this study.…”

Hypertension tends to be incurable and can only be controlled, including to prevent cardiovascular complications. The purpose of this study was to look at the relationship of age, gender, blood glucose level, blood cholesterol level, blood pressure, and medication behavior (consumption of drugs and health control) with the incidence of cardiovascular complications in patients with hypertension at the Public Health Center in Sikumana-Kupang City. This study used a cross sectional design with a sample of 87 hypertension patients. Data analysis used Rank Spearman's Test (α = 0.01). There were 50 respondents who had cardiovascular complications in the form of non-hemorrhagic stroke complications (NHS), complications of coronary artery deseases (CAD), NHS and CAD complications, and complications of anggina pectoris. Analysis of Rank Spearman indicated age had p = 0.404 and r = 0.091, gender had p = 0.161 and r = -0,152, blood glucose level had p = 0.000 and r = -0,390, blood cholesterol level had p = 0,272 and r = -0.119, blood pressure had p = 0.000 and r = +0.417, drug consumption had p = 0.000 and r = +0,439, and health control had p = 0.000 and r = +0,490. It was concluded that there were significant relationships between blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and medication behavior (which consists of the consumption of hypertension drugs and health control) with the incidence of cardiovascular complications in patients with hypertension at the Sikumana Public Health Center in Kupang City.

“…Additionally, a more aggressive strategy in the treatment of HTN (the use of combination antihypertensive agents) was common in most studies. On the contrary, the level of BP control in this study was higher than the results obtained from hospital-based studies conducted by Shelley et al in USA (49.8%), in six public primary care clinics of Malaysia (49.3%), 22 Al-Qahtani et al in Saudi Arabia (51.3%), Goverwa et al in Zimbabwe (32.8%), 42 Menanga et al in Cameroon (36.8%), 24 Khader et al among Jordanian adults (32.9%), 13 Mutua et al in Central Kenya (33.4%), 12 Animut et al at University of Gondar referral hospital, Ethiopia (50.4%). 16 Asgedom et al at Southwest Ethiopia (50.3%), 21 Teshome et al in Northwest Ethiopia (42.9%), 15 Lichisa et al in Adama, Ethiopia (43.6%), 43 Horsa et al in Ethiopia (26.2%), 9 Yazie et al in Ethiopia (30.1%) 2 and Gebremichael et al in Ethiopia (47.5%).…”

“…1,[5][6][7][8] It is one of the major, prevalent but modifiable risk factors, especially among patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cerebrovascular accidents. 2,9,10 As a result, HTN is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among non-communicable diseases [11][12][13][14][15] and ranks third as a cause of disability-adjusted life-year causing about 7.1 million premature deaths each year. 11 Additionally, the complications of HTN account for 9.4 million deaths worldwide every year.…”

Background: Hypertension is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among noncommunicable diseases. The rate of blood pressure (BP) control among hypertensive patients is poor and the reasons for poor control of BP remain poorly understood globally. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude and determinants of uncontrolled blood pressure among adult hypertensive patients on follow-up at Nekemte referral hospital (NRH). Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2018 at NRH. BP control status was determined by the average consecutive BP recordings across the 3 months. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 and p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 297 study participants included, the majority were females, 181 (60.9%), and the mean age of the patients was 59.4 ±10.4 years. About half, 137 (46.12%), of the patients had at least one comorbidity and the most common class of anti-hypertensive medication was angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (88.2%). The mean of systolic blood pressure was 132.41± 15.61mmHg, while the mean of diastolic blood pressure was 84.37± 9.32 mmHg. The proportion of participants with optimally controlled BP was 63.6% and 36% were adherent to their medications. Male sex (Adjusted Odd Ratio [AOR]: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.09-4.84), illiteracy (AOR= 1.56, 95% CI: 1.22-6.78), duration of hypertension diagnosis > 10 years (AOR= 2.01, 95% CI: 1.04-16.11), non-adherence (AOR= 3.14, 95% CI: 1.35-10.76) and lack of physical exercise (AOR= 2.8, 95% CI: 1.16-6.74) were positively associated with uncontrolled BP status. Whereas age older than 55 years (AOR= 0.38, 95% CI: 0.11-0.92) was negatively associated with uncontrolled BP. Conclusion: BP control was relatively achieved in about two-third of pharmacologically treated patients. We recommend better health education and care of patients to improve the rate of BP control status.

“…A multipurpose national household survey was conducted among Jordanian adults over a period of four months in the year 2017. The detailed study design, methods, and procedures were described in previous publications (4,5). In brief, a multistage sampling technique was used to select a nationally representative sample from the population of Jordan.…”

“…In Jordan, the overall age-standardized prevalence rate of diabetes increased from 13.0% in 1994 to 23.7% in 2017 (4). In 2017, the agestandardized prevalence of hypertension in Jordan was 33.8% among men and 29.4% among women (5).…”

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the abilities of waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) to predict recently and previously diagnosed diabetes and hypertension and assess their appropriate cut-off values among Jordanian adults. Methods: Data from the 2017 cardiovascular risk factors survey were analyzed to achieve the study objective. The survey collected extensive data from a national population-based sample of Jordanian residents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic variables and clinical data. Blood samples were taken for biochemical measurements. Anthropometric characteristics were measured by the same team of trained field researchers. Results: This study included a total of 1193 men and 2863 women. Their age ranged from 18 to 90 year with a mean (SD) of 43.8 (14.2) year. WHtR performed better than other anthropometric measures and had a good ability (AUC>0.80) among women and fair ability among men to predict newly diagnosed diabetes and previously diagnosed diabetes and hypertension. The appropriate cut-off points for anthropometric measures among women were 92 cm form WC, 104 cm for HC, 30 Kg/m 2 for BMI, 0.85 for WHR, and 0.60 for WHtR. For men, the appropriate cut-off points were 100 cm for WC, 104 cm for HC, 27 Kg/m 2 for BMI, 0.93 for WHR, and 0.57 for WHtR. Conclusion: WHtR performed better than other anthropometric measures in predicting diabetes and hypertension among adult population in Jordan. We recommend WHtR as a measure of choice with a cut-off value of 0.6 for women and 0.57 for men to predict diabetes and hypertension among Jordanians.WHtR: Waist-to-height ratio Declarations Ethics approval and consent to participate: Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional
