“…Abnormal waist circumference (crude OR = 4:074) was associated with stage 2 hypertension. Similar results, with different intensity, were obtained in Benin [24]. The waist circumference (abdominal obesity) was positively associated (OR = 1:9, p = 0:036) with the risk of hypertension among Beninese diabetics.…”

“…Independent risk factors for hypertension in the general population are known, among others, to be age, low educational status, being married, obesity, high dietary salt intake, low dietary intake of calcium and potassium, alcohol consumption, psychosocial stress, low levels of physical activity, and family history of hypertension [18][19][20][21][22]. So far, few risk factors of hypertension have been highlighted among diabetics in some countries (India, Nigeria, Benin, and United Arab of Emirates), namely, age above 55 years, abdominal obesity, and duration of diabetes [23][24][25][26]. Duration in diabetes was found to be the most common.…”

“…Journal of Diabetes Research Cameroon that age above 40 years increased hypertension risk by 4.5 (95% CI 3.0-6.8). In Benin, age above 55 years was positively associated with increasing risk of hypertension among diabetics using a bivariate analysis (OR = 6:1, p ≤ 0:001) [24]. In fact, the vascular system changes with age due to the alteration and relative reduction of elastic fibers that are replaced by collagen tissue in artery wall.…”

“…In fact, the vascular system changes with age due to the alteration and relative reduction of elastic fibers that are replaced by collagen tissue in artery wall. This evolution induces more rigidity of arteries contributing to elevate blood pressure [24]. Moreover, with age, there is a decrease of baroreceptor sensitivity, an increase of responsiveness to sympathetic nervous system stimuli, an alteration of renal and sodium metabolism, and a modification of reninaldosterone relationship, thereby predisposing to high blood pressure [33].…”

“…In another study conducted in India, the prevalence of hypertension was shown to increase with the duration of diabetes [23]. This result may be related to chronic hyperglycemia resulting in endothelial suffering leading to thickening of the arterial wall and to a rise in blood pressure later [24].…”

Uncontrolled blood pressure is a threat to diabetic patients’ life. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of hypertension among diabetic patients at different stages from Yaoundé Central Hospital and Etoug-Ebe Baptist Health Center of Cameroon. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted for 6 months, and 109 participants (types 1 and 2), aged 24–81 years, were enrolled using simple random sampling. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data, habitual behaviors, clinical history blood pressure, and anthropometric measures. The prevalence of hypertension was 86.2%. Of the total, 13.8% participants were normotensive, 32.1% stage 1 hypertensive, and 54.1% stage 2 hypertensive. Being a male (p=0.046) and not smoking (p=0.036) were negatively associated with stage 1 hypertension whereas eating less than 3 times (p=0.046) and duration of diabetes greater than 9 years among women (p=0.039) were positively associated. Age above 40 years (p=0.002) was negatively associated with stage 2 hypertension. However, age above 40 years had a negative effect among Christian, less educated diabetics, people having diabetes for more than 9 years, and those on medical treatment (5.556≤specific OR≤10.278). Duration of diabetes (age-adjusted OR=1.155; p=0.003) and abnormal waist circumference (crude OR=4.074; p=0.024) were positively associated with stage 2. Abnormal waist-to-hip ratio (crude OR=3.773; p=0.028) and feeding rate greater than 2 times a day (WHR-adjusted OR=3.417; p=0.046) were positively associated with hypertension (stages 1 and 2). This study suggests that hypertension, present at its two stages, is a serious health issue among diabetic patients. Thus, appropriate intervention should be put in place to prevent and control hypertension by managing identified risk factors.

BackgroundDepression commonly coexists with diabetes leads to complications and worsens the outcome. Even though the problem affects low‐ and middle‐income countries including Ethiopia, only a few studies have been done to show the magnitude of the problem and factors associated with it. So, the study was conducted to fill those gapsObjectiveThe main objective of this study was to assess psychosocial and clinical factors associated with depression among diabetic patients in Amhara region comprehensive specialized hospitals, Ethiopia, 2022.MethodsA hospital‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted in randomly selected hospitals of Amhara region from January 7 to February 10, 2022. A total of 426 diabetic patients who were on outpatient follow‐up were selected using a multistage sampling technique. A p‐value of ≤0.25 in the bivariable analysis was used to select variables for the multivariable analysis. A p‐value < 0.05 within a 95% confidence interval was considered to be significantly associated factors.ResultOut of 426 interviewed diabetes patients 203 (47.7%) had depression. Moderate physical activity (AOR = 0.50, 95% CI (0.29, 0.86)). low medication adherence (AOR = 2.10, 95% CI (1.22, 3.62)), medium medication adherence (AOR = 1.78, 95% CI (1.04, 3.06)), and high social support (AOR = 0.54, 95% CI (0.33, 0.91)) were significantly associated with depression among diabetic patients.ConclusionThe overall prevalence of depression among diabetic patients was higher than in other developing countries. Hence, special attention to preventing depression and maintaining mental illness among patients with chronic illnesses, especially diabetes should be given.
