“…This proportion is similar to the 20.4% found in Côte d'Ivoire [10]. However, it is lower than the results reported by authors in Nigeria, Congo, Togo and Benin, which are 36.2%, 41%, 36.7% and 34.8% respectively [11][12][13][14]. This difference can be explained by the fact that there was a small number of participants in our study.…”

Introduction: Hypertension is a major public health problem and an important area of research due to its high prevalence. It remains to be the leading cause of death globally and a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with other complications. Its management is a major challenge in our society; the large disparities in the regional burden of hypertension are accompanied by low levels of awareness, treatment and control rates. The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiological characteristics of hypertension and its associated risk factors. This is a crosssectional study conducted at the Renaissance University Hospital in June 2021 during a screening campaign and to raise awareness for hypertension. Its adult volunteers aged 18 years and older were present. The data was collected individually by interview using a collection form. Results: The sample consisted of 350 volunteers with 227 males (64.86%) with a sex ratio of 1.84. The mean standard deviation of total age was 38.96 (12.31) years. The prevalence of hypertension was present in 22.28% of participants (n=78). Male was predominant among hypertensive inviduals (65.38%) and the mean standard deviation age of hypertensives was 42.85 (13.42) years. Associated risk factors were predominantly hyperglycaemia; 26.9% of cases (n=94), alcohol consumption; 23.43% of cases (n=82) and obesity; 16% of cases (n=56). Conclusion: This study shows a high prevalence of hypertension and it concerns predominantly males. It affects young adults and the main associated cardiovascular risk factors were oage, obesity, alcohol consumption and hyperglycaemia.

“…The 36.4% rate of hypertension in this campaign is similar to the 36.2% reported in 2017. 4 This shows that concerted efforts are still needed to reduce the prevalence of hypertension in Nigeria so as to prevent avoidable complications like stroke, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and ischaemic heart disease. That stroke and diabetes mellitus were associated with significantly higher BP readings is not surprising since clustering of cardiovascular risk factors is common, increasing chances of adverse cardiovascular outcomes like stroke, chronic kidney disease, and myocardial infarction.…”

“…In MMM 2017, 36.2% of the 19 904 participants were diagnosed with hypertension using the cut-off values of ≥140 mmHg systolic and/or ≥90mmHg diastolic or self-reported on treatment for hypertension. 4 In addition, about three out of every five participants on treatment did not have their BP under control. We hereby report the outcome of MMM18 in Nigeria.…”

Hypertension remains the dominant cardiovascular risk factor worldwide. May Measurement Month (MMM) is an annual global programme of the International Society of Hypertension aimed at screening for undetected hypertension in the general population. We report the outcome of MMM 2018 in Nigeria. An opportunistic screening of adults aged at least 18 years was conducted in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria in the month of May, 2018. Screening for hypertension was done by trained volunteers with the use of validated digital and mercury sphygmomanometers following the MMM protocol. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure (BP) ≥140/90 mmHg or the use of BP-lowering medication. There were 6398 participants (53.0% female) with a mean (SD) age of 41.7 (15.0) years. Hypertension was present in 36.4% of the participants with 51.1% of the hypertensives aware of their status, 41.8% on medication, of whom 43.1% were controlled. Overall, only 18.0% of all hypertensive participants had their BP under control. The proportion with hypertension is high, and awareness, treatment, and control rates are low. Concerted efforts are needed to improve awareness and treatment of hypertension in Nigeria in order to reduce the high rate of complications associated with uncontrolled BP.

Evaluation of hypertensive patients is commonly done using office BP, especially in resource poor settings like in our environment.…”

Diurnal rhythm of blood pressure among Nigerians with hypertension using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Introduction hypertension is the most common cardiac disease in Nigeria. There are very limited studies in Nigeria on the use of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM) for evaluation of hypertensive patients. Twenty four-hour ABPM, unlike office blood pressure (OBP), can assess diurnal variation using parameters like awake blood pressure (BP), asleep (nocturnal) BP, mean 24-hour BP and dipping pattern. This can help in assessment of increased cardiovascular risk and management of hypertensive patients. We purposed to assess the diurnal rhythm of BP among Nigerians with hypertension. Methods this was a prospective cross-sectional study. Consecutive 77 hypertensive subjects were studied using Schiller MT-300 for 24-h ABPM. Results out of the 77 patients reviewed, 39 (50.6%) were females. The mean age was 50.9 years (SD 13.5). The mean awake systolic and diastolic BP were 135.6mmHg (SD 15.0) and 83.2mmHg (SD 10.0) respectively; mean asleep systolic and diastolic BP were 127.6mmHg (SD 17.9) and 76.2mmHg (SD 12.2) respectively; and mean 24-h systolic and diastolic BP were 133.6mmHg (SD 15.3) and 81.4mmHg (SD 10.2) respectively. Awake BP was elevated in 59.7% of study subjects. Elevated awake systolic BP and awake diastolic BP were present in 50.6% and 41.6% of the study population. Nocturnal (asleep) BP was elevated in 79.2%. Non-dipping pattern was the most prevalent pattern at 55.8%, followed by dipping (24.7%), reverse dipping (15.6%) and extreme dipping (3.9%). Conclusion a high proportion had nocturnal hypertension (79.2%) and non-dipping pattern was the most prevalent pattern (55.8%). Mean awake systolic BP, mean asleep systolic and diastolic BP and mean 24-h systolic and diastolic BP were elevated. The use of 24-h ABPM will enhance assessment of increased cardiovascular risk and management of Nigerians with hypertension.
