Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality. A community based cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in Hmawbi Cantonment Area, Yangon Region in November, 2015. This study aimed to identify the prevalence, awareness and risk factors of hypertension concerning smoking, alcohol dinking, eating food pattern, taking regular exercise, stressful condition and body mass index (BMI). The sample consisted of 210 respondents from three Units (Light Infantry Regiments) were randomly selected to participate in the study. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. It was found that 33.3% of respondents had hypertension; 55.7% achieved good awareness on hypertension as well; 16.7% respondents were current smoker; 7.6% had the history of alcohol drinking; 67.1% respondents took regular exercise; 29.5% respondents were in stressful condition; 32.9% re-spondents were overweight and 19.5% were obese. Hypertension was significantly associated with age (p-0.001), family income (p<0.001), awareness level (p-0.01), current smoking status (p<0.001), alcohol drinking (p<0.001), regular exercise taking (p<0.001), stressful condition (p<0.001), and increase BMI (p<0.001) of respondents. This setting in Hmawbi evidenced that age, family income, smoking, alcohol drinking, consumption of salty and fast food, stressful condition and increase BMI were identified as risk factors and taking regular exercise was protective. Over-all, over 50% of respondents having good awareness show that favorable circumstances exist for further strengthening the hypertension prevention and control program. These findings have implications for future public health interven-tion and clinical efforts to decrease the prevalence of hypertension among population.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.6(1) 2016: 20-26

“…Addiction of tobacco was found to be a significant parameter in augmenting the risk of hypertension in the community [14]. These findings provide enough evidence to enhance the efforts of health sector in creating awareness about the consequences of smoking/alcohol consumption, and enforce legal provisions in a stringent manner.…”

IntroductionGlobally, hypertension has been acknowledged as a significant public health concern to the population in socioeconomic and epidemiological transition, and is also the most prevalent risk factor of cardiovascular diseases [1]. In-fact, recent estimates show that hypertension affects more than a third of adults aged 25 and above, accounting for about a billion people worldwide and contributes to nearly 9.4 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases each year [2]. Furthermore, it has been estimated that by the year 2030, 23 million cardiovascular deaths are projected to be due to hypertension, of which about 85% cases will be from low-resource settings and developing nations [2]. A high and increasing prevalence of hypertension in both rural and urban areas of India has been reported in recent studies [3,4]. An analysis of nationally-representative survey data revealed that almost 22% of the men and 26% of women had hypertension [3]. In addition, findings of studies performed in different settings have revealed a conclusive evidence between high blood pressure and early onset/precipitation of other disorders (viz. coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure and impaired renal function) [3,4].Prevention of hypertension is possible. Early detection and appropriate/effective control of blood pressure is a critical element to reduce the risk of hypertension-induced-organ damage and other serious complications [3,5]. In addition, creating awareness among the members of the community regarding the potential risk factors that eventually determine the occurrence of hypertension is essential for combating the rising trends of hypertension in the community [5]. Thus implementation of effective primary and secondary prevention measures should be the most important goals in the planning of health policy measures [5]. There is a scarcity of literature on hypertension from rural India, which constitutes 70% of the total population. We followed a cohort of adults in rural Pondicherry, India over three years to study the incidence of T2DM. The research data were analyzed to explore the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors [6]. Materials and Methods Study setting Sample sizeThe sample size was estimated by employing a freely available open source software, Open Epi Version 2.3.10 [6]. The sampling frame comprised individuals aged above 25 years (n=2608). Single stage cluster random sampling was carried out. Using streets as the primary sampling unit, four streets in Ramanathapuram and six streets in Pillaiyarkuppam were chosen by lot method. AbstractBackground: Globally, hypertension has been acknowledged as a significant public health concern, and is also the most frequent potential risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. The present study has been undertaken to determine the burden of hypertension and its determinants in a rural area of Pondicherry.

“…The study conducted among adults in Turkey by Dogan et al showed a significant association between HTN and positive family history. 38 Factors associated with HTN measured by Chi-square test (χ2). The study showed that taking extra salt (OR 1.977, 95% CI 1.269-3.079), intake of low amount of vegetables (OR 2.048, 95% CI 1.228-3.416), higher waist circumference (OR 1.990, 95% CI 1.006-3.933) and mental distress (OR 1.724, 95% CI 1.045-2.844) were significant risk factors (Table 4).…”

Background: School teachers in urban area are experiencing sedentary life style behaviors. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension (HTN) among school teachers in Dhaka city.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out from May to October of 2017. Total 323 school teachers in Dhaka city aged between 25-59 years were enrolled using cluster random sampling technique. Data on socio-demographic profile, different risk factors, co-morbidities, family history and blood pressure (BP) were recorded. HTN was recorded according to pre-defined criteria. Factors associated with HTN analyzed by Chi-square test (χ2).Results: The prevalence of HTN among school teachers was 52%. The mean ± SD age was 46.5±7.8 years. Majority teachers (52%) were earning between 20,000 and 50,000 Bangladeshi Taka per month and about 61.6% had service duration >15 years. Development of HTN was significantly associated with age, monthly family income and service duration (p=0.001). Majority participants were female (65.6%) and female to male ratio was 1.9:1. Female teachers were more hypertensive compared to male (68% vs 32%). Taking extra salt (OR 1.977, 95% CI 1.269-3.079), low intake of fresh vegetables (OR 2.048, 95% CI 1.228-3.416), higher waist circumference (OR 1.990, 95% CI 1.006-3.933) and mental distress (OR 1.724, 95% CI 1.045-2.844) were found to be significantly associated with HTN.Conclusions:The prevalence of HTN was higher among the study participants. Building awareness by promoting healthy life style and behaviors for prevention and control of HTN should be given importance among teachers.
