“…Also the following factors played a significant role: pychosocial factors, obesity, diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. Similarly we noted close relations with these factors and cardiovascular problems (22)(23) . However in relation to alcohol consumption, the women deferred from the men due to their lower levels of consumption.…”

Objective:To compare men and women who have hypertension with reference to the following: high blood pressure, biosocial variables, habits and life styles, mental disorders, and social support networks. Method: 290 hypertensive patients (women, 62.1%) were evaluated. The assessments involved the following: measuring blood pressure with an automatic measuring device, evaluating social status through the Social Support Scale, and the use of a Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) to identify common mental disorders. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Women were found to be different to men (p<0.05) in the following areas having: better control of their blood pressure (64.4% vs 52.7%), less salary incomes, less diabetes, higher total cholesterol, higher body mass index and wider abdominal circumferences. They also had lower systolic blood pressure, lower levels of alcohol consumption and a greater prevalence for mental disorders. The social support assessment revealed that hypertensive women received less help with preparing meals but had more company from people which allowed them to engage in enjoyable activities. Conclusion: Women had more control over their blood pressure than men, despite the presence of negative biopsychosocial factors that may have influenced their adherence to the treatments.

“…Obesity has long been established as an important and independent risk factor for the development and complication of hypertension[ 12 – 14 ]. In China, the prevalence of obesity alarmingly increased from 3.75% in 1991 to 11.3% in 2011[ 15 ].…”

Association between Anthropometric Measures and Indicators for Hypertension Control among Kazakh-Chinese Hypertension Patients in Xinjiang, China: Results from a Cross-sectional Study

et al. 2017

BackgroundAmong Kazakh-Chinese population in Xinjiang province of China, prevalence of obesity and hypertension were 40.1% and 50.3% respectively, the highest across all ethnic groups residing in this pastureland. Despite this, there remained a dearth of information regarding the association between the anthropometric measures [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) etc.] and indicators for hypertension control [achieved levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP), pulse pressure index (PPI), ankle-brachial index (ABI) etc.] among them.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted in Xinjiang to determine the distribution and inter-relationships of the anthropometric measures and indicators for achieved BP control as well as their predictors among hypertension patients of Kazakh-Chinese ethnicity. Out of 550 randomly selected patients, 516 completed the interview, anthropometry and BP assessments.ResultsIn the sample population, average SBP, DBP and PP were 156.26±24.40mmHg, 87.55±14.73mmHg and 68.71±19.39mmHg respectively. Bivariate analysis identified age, gender, education, duration of hypertension, WC and BMI being factors influencing the achieved levels of BP. Adjusted multiple linear regression models elicited positive associations of age (βa = 0.152, p = 0.001) and duration of hypertension (βa = 0.132, p = 0.003) with achieved level of SBP as well as BMI (βa = 0.135, p = 0.002) with DBP. Age (βa = 0.207, p<0.001) and WHtR (βa = 0.304, p = 0.005) were positively and WC (βa = -0.406, p<0.001) was negatively associated with PPI. Increasing age (βa = -0.125, p = 0.005), female gender (βa = -0.122, p = 0.005) and 5years’ duration of hypertension (βa = -0.091, p<0.039) were negatively associated with ABI. After adjustment for socio-demographic variables, hypertensive patients with (reference = without) abdominal obesity had 93% (p = 0.013) higher odds of missing the target BP control.ConclusionAnthropometric measures and indicators for blood pressure control among Kazakh-Chinese patients were far beyond normal. Several anthropometric measures appeared useful for monitoring BP. Using them, regular screening and consequent targeted intervention were required urgently to control hypertension among Kazakh-Chinese.

“…The study by Moraes, Checchio and Freitas (18) verified the association between hypertension and anthropometric indicators in adults and found that the central obesity indicator was significantly associated to the hypertension. In the cited study they found that for both sexes, the prevalence of hypertension increased according to the exposure levels of the anthropometric variables and, in those with altered waist circumference, the prevalence of hypertension corresponded to almost double (male sex) or more than double (female sex).…”

Different anthropometric indicators of central obesity can predict hypertension in older adults

et al. 2019

Objective: to investigate the association between hypertension and anthropometric indicators of central obesity, obtained from two anatomical sites in older adults.Methodology: cross-sectional study that involved 145 older adults, from whom socioeconomic and demographic data and anthropometric indicators of central obesity (waist circumference [CC] and abdominal circumference [CA]) were obtained, which were considered independent variables. A logistic regression model was used to analyze associations and for the discriminatory power of the cut-off points of the hypertension anthropometric indicators, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed. Comparisons were made between ROC curves, with the aim of identifying significant differences in the discriminatory power of the anthropometric indicators studied.Results: out of the 145 individuals, 79 were females (54%) and 66 males (46%). Results showed a high prevalence of arterial hypertension in men (69,7%) and women (73,4%). Both CC and CA were significantly associated with hypertension in both genders. Parameters of the ROC curve revealed that both anthropometric indicators of central obesity exhibit good discriminatory power for hypertension in the studied population. The cut-off point for CC was > 83,2 cm for men and > 82,6 cm for women; while for CA it was > 85,1 cm and > 85,4 cm for men and women, respectively.Conclusion: CA and CC are significantly associated with hypertension in both genders, and there is no superiority between them to predict hypertension in the elderly population.
