“…Related study conducted in rural areas of Davangere, Karnataka, India, shows that among all the participants the prevalence of hypertension was 18.3%. The study also states that the prevalence of hypertension was more in male than in female [21]. From this study, it was apparent that hypertension is not only a worry of urban populace, yet additionally a matter of verbal confrontation in rural province of India.…”

“…The study also shows that occupation which is indirectly associated with income and stress level is also a predictor of hypertension in this region. As many studies agreed that there is an association between age and hypertension [20][21][22] as age increases the risk of having hypertension is high. The current study shows that the prevalence of hypertension is high among the participants aged 20-39 years than among with higher age.…”

Objective: Hypertension is a global public health problem that estimates about 4.5% of overall disease burden. It is a general health challenge in economically developing and developed countries. High blood pressure prevalence is increased from 11.2% to 28% (p<0.001) and 23-42.2% in rural and urban area according to the study done in Delhi for about 20 years. It is one of the important risk factors of cardiovascular disease, which is associated with morbidity and mortality. The aim was to identify the significant correlates of hypertension in a rural village in south India.Methods: Data were collected through a door-to-door survey among the residents of the village. Data collected was related to demographics and anthropometric measures. Blood pressure was measured with the help of the medical supervisor. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test for comparison between attributes. The potential hazard factor of hypertension was found by performing binary logistic regression model. Result:Of 299 participants considered for the study, 50 were hypertensive contributing to the overall prevalence of 16.72% with 95% confidence interval of 0.1292-0.2137, in which females have the prevalence rate of 17.8% and males with the prevalence rate of 15.5%. The study outcome identified education level, occupation, and family history of hypertension is the predicted risk factors. Conclusion:The high blood pressure prevalence is low and comparable with the studies conducted in other rural regions of India. More studies are, however, required to decide the appropriation and determinants of hypertension in different parts of this region.

“…Multivariate analysis revealed age and BMI as risk factors, and non-vegetarian diet as protective factor with respect to hypertension.. In a study by Supriya Dwivedi et al, 31 among 423 adults recruited, 48.2% and 51.7% were males and females, respectively, and 76.4% and 23.6%, respectively, were in the age group 18-45 and 46-59 years. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 25.3%.…”

Introduction: Hypertension is becoming an increasingly common health problem worldwide. Hypertension is becoming a public health emergency worldwide, especially in developing countries. Aims and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of hypertension among adults aged 20 years and above in the urban slums of Rajamahendravaram and to determine the risk factors associated with it. Materials and Methods: Community based Cross-sectional study conducted among adults in urban slums of Rajamahendravaram for six months from July 2018 to December 2018. Results: The study included 158 (47.9%) Males and 172(52.1%) Females. The prevalence of hypertension is 96(29.09%) with higher prevalence among women 51 (29.65%) than in men 45(28.48%). Hypertension was most commonly seen in the age group of 40 -49 years (55.17%) with statistically significant association between hypertension and increasing age (p=0.000). Hypertension was common in people of lower middle class (48%, p=0.0005). Also, people who used palm oil (100%, p=0.0000), common salt >1000 g/month (69.23%, p=0.000), Tobacco users (45.07%, p=0.000), diabetics (41%,p=0.000), obese (59.38%, p=0.000) and people with abdominal obesity (37.20%, p=0.001) showed higher prevalence of hypertension. Conclusions:The observed high prevalence of hypertension in this study and other studies reiterate the importance of hypertension as a public health problem. It's time to emphasize strict implementation of comprehensive national policy to control hypertension.
