“…Kishore et al's study in India's capital region found that the prevalence of hypertension is 14.1%, higher in participants who are more than 35 years old than those who are less than 35 years old [12]. Nevertheless, it was relatively less than a study conducted in the north region, Chandigarh, where the prevalence of hypertension was 29.0%, consistent with the present study [13].…”

The prevalence of hypertension gradually becomes a serious public health threat as it is a very pertinent risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) among the hilly region's rural community and identify the indicators of ISH among study participants. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1220 participants in the rural community of the hilly region. A multistage random sampling technique was applied to recruit the participants. Demographic and anthropometric dimensions were measured to analyze the outcome of the study. The participants' mean age was 44.42 ± 15.54 years, with a majority of 822 female participants (67.40%). The prevalence of ISH was found as 27.45%. A statistically significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) of the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and body mass index (BMI) were observed with systolic blood pressure (SBP) in male as well as female participants, whereas BMI and WHtR had no correlation with diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Among female participants, the area under the curve (AUC) for BMI and WHtR was 0.604 (95% confidence interval 0.565-0.643, p-value = 0.020*) and 0.622 (95% confidence interval 0.584-0.660, p-value = 0.020*), respectively. Among male participants, the AUC for BMI and WHtR was 0.574 and 0.592, respectively. Hence, it cannot be considered very satisfactory. The increasing prevalence of ISH in a rural community is also a public health concern. At the preliminary stage, anthropocentric measurements are the primary tool for a family physician while treating the patients. This study concluded that WHtR is a better indicator than BMI for systolic hypertension. Although we have not observed a strong correlation of WHtR with systolic hypertension, it is required to perform future research to support this study's evidence.

“…Concurrently, the mean WHtR (male: 0.547 ± 0.054 and female: 0.5475 ± 0.055) among study participants was similar to the study conducted by Verma et al in Chandigarh, India. In that study, the WHtR (males: 0.054 ± 0.05; females: 0.55 ± 0.08) was indicated as a potent risk factor for hypertension [13].…”

“…Most of the studies report a prevalence ranging between 20%-30%. 4,12,13 The higher prevalence of hypertension in our study could be due to the faster epidemiological transition in Kerala compared to other Indian states. 14 The difference in prevalence rates could also be due to different cut off points used in defining the level of hypertension and also differing age groups constituting the study population and the sample size.…”

“…This awareness level is more than that found in the Chennai study (32.8%) but less than that reported from other literature. 4,13,15,19 A high proportion of those who were aware of hypertension was on treatment (94.5%) and among these 47.1% which represents only 17% of the total hypertensive group had adequate blood pressure control. Similar blood pressure control was reported by Mohan et al (15%) but was more than that reported by Anchala et al, 10.7%.…”

Background: High blood pressure is prevalent all over the world and is one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In considerable proportion of cases the disease tends to be asymptomatic for prolonged time, hence also labelled as “silent killer”. Awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension remain major challenges worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in Northern Kerala. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study among 687 subjects aged ≥20 years was conducted from March 2017 to July 2017. Data was collected by personal interviews, followed by anthropometric and blood pressure measurements. Diagnosis of hypertension was based on Joint National Committee (JNC) VIII guidelines. Results: The prevalence of hypertension (JNC VIII) was 48.2% with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 44.46% to 51.94%. Prevalence among males: 58.1% and females: 44.5%. Among the total hypertensives, 38.7% were aware. Of these, 94.5% taking treatment, 47.1% achieved adequate blood pressure control. Advancing age, current diabetic status, body mass index, and family history of hypertension were identified as risk factors for hypertension by multivariate logistic regression. Conclusions: High prevalence of hypertension was observed in the population. The low levels of awareness and control underscores the large gap between evidence and practice that needs to be bridged, for effective control of hypertension. This calls for plan to adopt preventive and control strategies and promote the health of the population.

“…8 Our study showed more percentage of tobacco smoking due to easy availability. According to a study in Southeast Asia done by Pt J.N.M medical college, Raipur, India regarding prevalence and determinants of hypertension in elderly people about half of the study population were hypertensive 13 and according to US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health about hypertension review in Bangladesh 40-65% of elderly people suffer from high blood pressure. 14 But surprisingly our study revealed 55.04% normotensive which may be due to improved treatment facility regularity in taking antihypertensive medication due to improved health consciousness.…”

Introduction: Bangladesh is currently undergoing a demographic transition and the proportion of the population who are elderly is rapidly increasing. As geriatrics health problems are making a greater demand on the health services of the community, universal health coverage can’t be achieved if we leave older people behind. Objectives: To assess the socio-demographic status, identification of the health-related determinants and health problems, and treatment-seeking behavior among the elderly rural people. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from November 2018 to January 2019 at Baliyati, Mohishashi, and Dhalkunda villages in Saturia Upazilla of Manikganj District. People aged ≥ 60 years were selected by purposive sampling and data were collected from 427 elderly people. Data were collected by interview using an interviewer-administered semi- structured questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured by a sphygmomanometer. Results: 49.99 % of the respondents were aged between 60 to 65 years and 18.03% were above 75 years.59.71% of respondents was illiterate, and 18.96% have completed their primary level education. 34.66% of respondents were self-employed and 30.67% were involved in householdwork38.4% had no monthly income. Their monthly family income ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 taka. 57.61% of the respondents lived in a joint family. Most of the respondents (79.85%) are married and of them (49.69%) have 3-4 living children. The majority of the respondents (93.91%) drink from tube well water and 81.49% of respondents use sanitary latrine.42.68% of respondents have an addiction to betel leaf. Among the chronic diseases, 57.38% of respondents suffered from joint pain, 57.14% from visual disturbance, 37.94% from general weakness, 16.16 % from insomnia, and 14.52% from hypertension. The majority of the respondents (78.68%) took measures for their health problems. Due to the high cost of treatment, about 41.75% of respondents did not take any measures when they become sick. Most of the respondents (55.65%) who took treatment preferred to go to a government hospital. Conclusion: Higher medical costs, ignorance about available medical facility in nearby medical units are the main challenges of elderly people in Bangladesh. Most diseases are preventable by creating awareness through mass media.
