INTRODUCTIONIt was reported that the prevalence of hypertension is speedily increasing and is one of the leading causes of death and disability in developing countries.1 In India, the prevalence of hypertension is reported as ranging from 10 to 30.9%.2 It seems to be that, the prevalence will increase even further unless broad and effective preventive measures are implemented. Epidemiological studies should be conducted to assess the prevalence of hypertension and to suggest are essential plan for preventive strategies and promote the health.The cause of hypertension is often unknown and high blood pressure of unknown origin is usually referred as essential or primary hypertension. Most investigations consider high blood pressure to be a quantitative deviation from the norm and this view has fostered the epidemiological approach to hypertension, in which the distribution, determinants and development of blood pressure are investigated its approach has lead to the ABSTRACT Background: There was a strong correlation between increase in hypertension and changing lifestyle factors. The problem which lies with the hypertension is that it cannot be cured completely. And its management requires lifelong medication with some life-style modifications. Decreased physical activities coupled with increased mental tension are important contributors of hypertension. They are usually seen amongst employees of the profession where working is typically sedentary. The main objectives were to study on prevalence of hypertension and risk factors among Government Gazetted officers of Maharashtra, India. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried among gazetted officers working in various departments of state Government for a period of one year in Solapur district. 355 Gazetted Government officers of class I & class II cadre were studied. Blood pressure was measured with a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Chi-square test was applied to assess risk factors. Results: In present study, the prevalence of hypertension among Gazetted officers was observed 20.28%. There was significant positive association was found between age and prevalence of hypertension. And also it was found significantly higher in men than women. The association between education and hypertension found to be statistically significant (P<0.001), while there was no association between socioeconomic status and hypertension was found (P=0.33). Prevalence of hypertension was noted higher at every level of BMI. Prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher in smokers, alcoholic and had significant association (P<0.05). Conclusions: We conclude that, because of high prevalence of hypertension in Gazetted officers, periodically they should be screened for the same.

Abstract-To evaluate the cardiovascular mortality risk in association with blood pressure level among people with and without antihypertensive treatment, we performed the participant-level meta-analysis that included 39 705 Japanese from 6 cohorts (58.4% women; mean age, 60.1 years; 20.4% treated). Multivariable-adjusted Cox models were used to analyze the risk of cardiovascular mortality and its subtypes among 6 blood pressure levels according to recent guidelines, optimal to Grade 3 hypertension, and the usage of antihypertensive medication at baseline. During median 10.0 years of follow-up, there were 2032 cardiovascular deaths (5.1 per 1000 person-years), of which 410 deaths were coronary heart disease, 371 were heart failure, and 903 deaths were stroke. Treated participants had significantly higher risk for cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratios, 1.50; 95% confidence intervals, 1.36-1.66), coronary heart disease (hazard ratios, 1.53; confidence intervals, 1.23-1.90), heart failure (hazard ratios, 1.39; confidence intervals, 1.09-1.76), and stroke (hazard ratios, 1.48; confidence intervals, 1.28-1.72) compared with untreated people. Among untreated participants, the risks increased linearly with an increment of blood pressure category (P≤0.011). The risk increments per blood pressure category were higher in young participants (<60 years; 22% to 79%) than those in old people (≥60 years; 7% to 15%) with significant interaction for total cardiovascular, heart failure, and stroke mortality (P≤0.026). Among treated participants, the significant linear association was also observed for cardiovascular mortality (P=0.0003), whereas no stepwise increase in stroke death was observed (P=0.19). The risks of cardiovascular mortality were ≈1.

“…Alcohol consumption has been associated with the development of hypertension (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10), and Japanese men consume more alcoholic beverages than men in many other developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). These facts suggest that the high consumption of alcoholic beverages among Japanese men may contribute to the high prevalence of hypertension in Japan (12,16).…”

, for the NIPPON DATA90 Research Group* Japanese men consume more alcoholic beverages than men in many other developed countries. The high consumption rate of alcoholic beverages among Japanese men may contribute to the high prevalence of hypertension in Japan. In the present study, we calculated the odds ratio for hypertension in alcohol drinkers based on recent criteria using data from a nationwide survey conducted in Japan in 1990, and estimated, among total hypertensives in a general Japanese population, the percentage of hypertensives whose condition was due to alcohol consumption. Of 3,454 male participants, 64.8% were drinkers (1 gou/day, 28.9%; 2 gou/day, 20.1%; 3 gou/day or more, 8.7%; ex-drinkers, 7.0%) and 49.8% were hypertensive, whereas 7.6% of 4,808 female participants were drinkers (1 gou/day, 5.2%; 2 gou/day or more, 1.3%; ex-drinkers, 1.1%) and 43.1% were hypertensive (1 gou =23.0 g of alcohol). In both sexes, drinkers had a higher odds ratio for hypertension than never drinkers, and there was a significant dose-response relationship between the amount of alcohol consumed and the odds ratio for hypertension. Among all hypertensives, the percentage whose hypertension was due to alcohol consumption was 34.5% (95% confidence interval, 10.9%-51.9%) for men and 2.6% (0.8%-5.8%) for women. The corresponding proportion based on daily alcohol intake was 12.7% for 1 gou/day, 11.1% for 2 gou/day, 5.8% for 3 gou/day or more, and 4.8% for ex-drinkers in men, and 1.8% for 1 gou/day, 0.7% for 2 gou/day or more, and -0.1% for ex-drinkers in women. In conclusion, we found that a large percentage of the hypertensives in a general Japanese male population had alcohol-

Relationship of alcohol consumption to 7-year blood pressure change in Japanese men

Abstract: An alcohol intake > or = 300 g/week was associated with significantly greater annual BP increase, and baseline BP was significantly higher in drinkers consuming > or = 200 g/week. It is necessary to limit alcohol intake to less than 200 g/week to prevent hypertension.
