“…The prevalence of hypertension in this age group found in our study was similar to study by Dores et al 14 prevalence when compared to our study. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Similar studies conducted by Al Majed et al and Kanade et al found higher prevalence in this age group.…”

Background: Hypertension is a silent killer and global public health problem. With the advent of globalization affecting the lifestyle of the population, non-communicable diseases like hypertension, diabetes etc. is affecting the young adults (18 to 40 years). The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors among young adults (18 to 40 years) attending a tertiary care centre of Nagpur.Methods: This was a cross sectional study on 370 participants of age 18 to 40 years attending the outpatient department of urban health training centre in Nagpur. Data was collected using pretested and pre designed questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were done by standard guidelines. Blood pressure was measured using sphygmomanometer in sitting position. Data was analyzed using Epi info version 7.2. Chi square test/ fisher’s exact test has been used to find the difference between two proportions. Unadjusted odds ratio was calculated for various risk factors studied. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was done to calculate the adjusted odds ratio. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was found to be 23.24%. The prevalence was higher among males (25%) when compared to females (22.3%). Body mass index and waist hip ratio were significantly higher among the hypertensive when compared to normotensive study population (p<0.01). For every one year increase in age, the odds ratio increases by 1.06 (1.02 to 1.09) and the subjects who were overweight were having 2.15 odds of being hypertensive. Conclusions: We found a high prevalence of hypertension among the adults of age group of 18 to 40 years. The population with high body mass index, high waist to hip ratio and age group of 30 to 40 years were found to be associated with hypertension. Early surveillance and prompt treatment forms will help in decreasing the cardiovascular risk of young adults in near future.

“…These results were largely lower than those from recent results reported from studies among university students regarding prehypertension (6,(8)(9)(10) and hypertension (8,9,(11)(12)(13)(14). However, they were similar to results from university students in Libya (7).…”

“…Among Indian medical students, 67% had prehypertension and hypertension (10), and the prevalence of hypertension ranged from 2.2% in Libya (7), 7% in Argentina (11) and Kuwait (9), 12.8% in Chile (12) and Malaysia (8), and 6.9% to 24.9% in Portugal (13,14).…”

“…Factors associated with prehypertension or hypertension among university students included sociodemographics [male gender (9,11,12,14), greater age (11) and hypertensive first-degree relatives (14)], BMI obesity (6,7,9,11,(15)(16)(17)(18), substance use [smoking (7,9) and heavy alcohol use (19)], and in young women taking oral contraceptives (14). In addition, among general adults, factors associated with prehypertension or hypertension included physical inactivity (20,21), excess sodium intake (20), inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC) (20), psychosocial stress [posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (22), depression (23) and short sleep duration (24,25)], and poor sleep quality (25).…”

“…Apesar de a HTA ser considerada um problema da idade adulta, sabe-se hoje que fases mais precoces da vida são períodos críticos na sua etiologia e que nas últimas décadas se tem verificado um incremento da PA em crianças e adolescentes 4,9 . Estudos diversos têm apresentado prevalências díspares de HTA nestas faixas etárias 5,6,8 . O presente estudo obteve uma elevada prevalência de pré-HTA e HTA (12 e 34%, respetivamente); tendo sido a HTA mais prevalente no sexo masculino (43 e 21%, p = 0,001) e a pré-HTA no sexo feminino (13 versus 10%, p = 0,001).…”

PALAVRAS-CHAVEHipertensão Arterial; Adolescentes; Fatores de risco ResumoObjetivo: Determinar a prevalência de pré-hipertensão arterial (pré-HTA) e hipertensão arterial (HTA) em adolescentes portugueses da cidade de Lisboa e averiguar a relação da pressão arterial (PA) com os fatores de risco: sexo, obesidade, tabagismo, alcoolismo, prática de exercício físico e história familiar de HTA. Metodologia: Estudo epidemiológico observacional, descritivo e transversal, numa amostra de conveniência de adolescentes de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 16 e 19 anos. A informação referente a hábitos comportamentais e história familiar de HTA foi obtida através de um questionário estruturado, autopreenchido. Resultados: Foram incluídos 234 adolescentes, com idade média de 16,4 ± 0,9 anos, 57% do sexo masculino. Registou-se uma prevalência de HTA de 34%, superior no sexo masculino (44 versus 21%, p = 0,001) e uma prevalência de pré-HTA de 12%, superior no sexo feminino (13 versus 10%, p = 0,001). O aumento do índice de massa corporal associou-se de forma significativa a maior prevalência de pré-HTA (categoria normoponderais: 9,40%; excesso de peso: 16,10%; obesidade: 22,70%) e HTA (normoponderais: 30,4%; excesso de peso: 45,2%; obesidade: 45,5%). Na presença de história familiar de HTA, a prevalência de HTA e de pré-HTA foi aproximadamente o dobro (41 versus 28% e 18 versus 9%, respetivamente). A prática regular de exercício físico, os hábitos tabágicos e o consumo alcoólico não revelaram associação estatisticamente significativa com os valores de pressão arterial. Conclusão: A prevalência de pré-HTA e HTA na amostra estudada foi elevada. Dos fatores de risco avaliados, apenas o sexo, a obesidade e a história familiar de HTA se associaram de forma significativa aos valores de PA.
