“…Of the 10 studies that employed the WHO Stepwise instrument, different combinations of questions to assess the intake of salt, fruits and vegetables, snacks, sweets, fried foods, fats and oils, or alcohol were used (detailed in Table 1) [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Furthermore, 12 studies used either nonpublished or validated structured questionnaires to assess dietary intake [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63].…”

Background: Contrary to North America and Europe, the prevalence of hypertension is rising in West Africa. Although diet is implicated as a contributor to this trend, nutritional guidelines in West Africa are not tailored to address this concern. This study aimed to address this limitation by investigating dietary factors common to West Africa and evaluating their association with hypertension. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Medline were searched to identify studies that investigated diet and hypertension in West African adults. All meta-analyses used a generic inverse-variance random effects model, with subgroup analyses by age, BMI, and study location, and were performed in R. Results: Three thousand, two hundred ninety-eight studies were identified, of which 31 (n = 48 809 participants) satisfied inclusion criteria – all cross-sectional. Meta-analyses of the association between dietary factors and hypertension included dietary fat [odds ratio (OR) = 1.76; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.44–2.14; P < 0.0001], red meat (OR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.04–2.18; P = 0.03), junk-food (OR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.19–1.67; P < 0.0001), dietary salt (OR = 1.25; 95% CI: 1.12–1.40; P < 0.0001), alcohol (OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.03–1.32; P = 0.013), and ‘fruits and vegetables’ (OR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.24–1.17; P < 0.0001). Subgroup analyses suggested that ‘fruit and vegetable’ consumption is less protective in the elderly. Conclusion: High consumption of dietary salt, red meat, dietary fat, junk food, and alcohol are associated with increased odds of hypertension, whereas high fruit and vegetable appear protective. This region-specific evidence will support the development of nutritional assessment tools for clinicians, patients, and researchers aiming to reduce hypertension in West Africa.

Introduction Hypertension is rising globally and is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. It affects people of different groups; however, owing to a rise in a sedentary lifestyle it is more prevalent among long-distance truck drivers. However, the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among truck drivers in Ethiopia is not known. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among long-distance truck drivers in Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 415 long-distance truck drivers selected by systematic random sampling technique at Modjo dry port from May 15 to 30, 2021. The data were collected and entered into Epi-data 4.6 then it was exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Descriptive statistics, bivariable, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were executed. The odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was computed. In the final model, a variable with a p ≤ 0.05 was declared as a predictor of hypertension. Results The prevalence of hypertension among long-distance truck drivers in Ethiopia was 34.7%. The odds of hypertension was higher among drivers who were ≥45 years old [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.32; 95% Confidence interval (CI): 2.16, 8.62], obese [AOR= 5.12; 95% CI: 1.33, 19.8], alcohol drinkers [AOR=3.05; 95% CI: 1.27, 7.31], and cigarette smokers [AOR= 3.74; 95% CI: 1.64, 8.51]. Drivers who had regular physical exercise were less likely [AOR=0.33; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.63] to have hypertension than drivers with no physical activity. Conclusion More than a third of the participants in Ethiopia had hypertension. Higher age, obesity, absence of rest between driving, short sleep duration, smoking, alcohol drinking, and physical inactivity were significantly associated with hypertension. Therefore, health education on lifestyle modifications, sleep habits, and the importance of rest breaks between driving should be considered to prevent hypertension and further complications.
