Prevalence of diabetes and dyslipidemia in hypertensive patients in the area of Blida (Algeria)

Lipid Profile and Prevalence of Dyslipidemia in Hypertensive Patients at the Kara University Hospital Center (Togo)

“…In our study the rate of dyslipidemia was slightly higher in women without a statistically significant difference (p=0.1). Our results are similar to those of Bashir Cherif in Algeria [16] who found no difference in the prevalence rate of dyslipidemia in men and women. On the other hand, many other studies show a female predominance with a statistically significant difference.…”

“…In contrast to sub-Saharan Africa, studies conducted in the Maghreb and in some Asian and European countries the prevalence rates of dyslipidemia are lower. Sixteen point one percent of dyslipidemia was found in a series of 3268 hypertensive patients in Algeria [16]. In China and Italy, Zhang [17] and Pedrinellia [18] found 16.9% and 19.1% of dyslipidemia in their respective studies.…”

The Magnitude of Diabetes Mellitus in Adult Hypertensive Patients in Northeast Ethiopia

“…This finding is comparable with the magnitude reported (32%) by the study conducted in China. 16 However, our finding was greater than the prevalence of diabetes reported by the study conducted among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in Cameron 7.7%, 13 Algeria 21.8% 30 and China 24.3%. 15 The possible reason for the greater prevalence in our study would be due to the fact that the study subjects in Cameroon study participants were newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.…”

Prevalence of Diabetes and Dyslipidemia in Hypertensive Young Adults in a Tertiary Care Centre in Nepal, a Cross Sectional Study

“…12 Conversely, A. BachirCherif et al in Algeria showed higher prevalence of diabetes, comprising 21.8% diabetes and only 10.9% impaired glucose tolerance. 13 This study shows the prevalence of diabetes increases with increasing age which is probably due to the combined effect of body mass index (BMI) and age, as suggested by previous studies. 14 The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 125 (75.6%) in our study.…”

“…Among them 16.1% had dyslipidemia. 13 Zhang et al in China 17 and Pedrinelli et al in Italy 18 found the prevalence of dyslipidemia to be 16.9% and 19.1% respectively in hypertensive patients. In our study, the most common disorder was found to be high TG in 125 patients (75.6%) followed by Low HDL…”
