“…Malay pregnant women had the highest prevalence of obesity, but the adiposity-blood pressure association was strongest in Chinese compared with Malay or Indian women. The ethnic disparity of the relation between maternal adiposity and blood pressures in our study is consistent with the previous studies that examined this relationship in nonpregnant populations [33][34][35][36][37], particularly, some studies have shown that the adiposityblood pressure association is stronger in Chinese than non-Chinese Asians [36,37]. For example, Razak et al [36] found that Chinese men and women had the highest blood [37] found that East Asian women had significantly higher risk of hypertension than South Asian and European women at the same BMI level.…”

“…1 The pathogenesis of hypertension induced by obesity includes local inflammation in visceral adipose tissue, resulting in systemic microinflammation, disturbances in adipokine secretion (especially increased leptin release), insulin resistance with compensating hyperinsulinemia, increased renin-angiotensin and sympathetic nervous systems activation, endothelial dysfunction, and early arteriosclerosis development. [2][3][4][5][6] In the obese, circulating adipokines levels reflect the hormonal disturbances of visceral adipose tissue, and participate in the development of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction, 7 as well as chronic kidney disease.…”

“…(28) The association between arterial hypertension and obesity was proven in different studies. (29,30) In this sample, eutrophic people showed a 4.11 times higher probability of adhering to the treatment than obese participants. Obesity reduces the treatment adherence.…”

Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with the cooperation of arterial hypertension patients in primary health care. Methods: Cross-sectional study that included 458 hypertensive patients, randomly selected among primary care users. The study variables were socioeconomic, demographic and clinical and the research instruments used were validated. The logistic regression model was used for multivariate statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence rates found for patient cooperation corresponded to 26.6%, 16.6% and 85.6% on the Morisky-Green, Batalla and Haynes-Sackett tests, respectively. The adjusted logistic regression analysis showed economic class and smoking as the independent predictors of hypertensive patients' cooperation. Conclusion: The prevalence of treatment adherence varied according to the assessment instrument used. The factors associated with treatment adherence were: high socioeconomic class, living with a partner and being eutrophic. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar a prevalência e os fatores associados a cooperação do paciente portador de hipertensão arterial na atenção primária. Métodos: Estudo transversal que incluiu com 458 hipertensos selecionados aleatoriamente entre os usuários na assistência primária. As variáveis de estudo foram socioeconômicas, demográficas e clínicas e os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados eram validados. Foi utilizado o modelo de regressão logística para análise estatística multivariada. Resultados: As prevalências encontradas para cooperação do paciente foram 26,6%, 16,6% e 85,6% para os testes de Morisky-Green, Batalla e Haynes-Sackett, respectivamente. Análise de regressão logística ajustada mostrou classe econômica e fumo como os preditores independentes para a cooperação do paciente portador de hipertensão arterial. Conclusão: A prevalência de adesão ao tratamento variou de acordo com o instrumento de avaliação utilizado. Os fatores associados à adesão ao tratamento foram: classe socioeconômica elevada, morar com companheiro e ser eutrófico. Keywords
