“…However one previous validation study indicated that the wrist device could provide acceptable blood pressure measurements. 47 Furthermore, some important risk factors of hypertension were not considered, such as noise exposure, migration status, genetic background, and different food styles among different geographic areas. However, in the models, we have included the community as one variable at the second level, which can serve as a proxy for the genetic background and dietary style among different areas.…”

Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) has been associated with cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, has also been hypothesized to be linked to PM2.5. However, epidemiological evidence has been mixed. We examined long-term association between ambient PM2.5 and hypertension and blood pressure. We interviewed 12,665 participants aged 50 years and older and measured their blood pressures. Annual average PM2.5 concentrations were estimated for each community using satellite data. We applied two-level logistic regression models to examine the associations, and estimated hypertension burden attributable to ambient PM2.5. For each 10 μg/m3 increase in ambient PM2.5, the adjusted odds ratio of hypertension was 1.14 (95% confidence interval, 1.07, 1.22). Stratified analyses found that overweight and obesity could enhance the association, and consumption of fruit was associated with lower risk. We further estimated that 11.75% (95% confidence interval: 5.82%, 18.53%) of the hypertension cases (corresponding to 914, 95% confidence interval: 453, 1442 cases) could be attributable to ambient PM2.5 in the study population. Findings suggest that long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 might be an important risk factor of hypertension, and is responsible for significant hypertension burden in adults in China. A higher consumption of fruit may mitigate, while overweight and obesity could enhance this effect.

“…Blood pressure (BP) was measured using a Boso Medistar Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Model S. Validation studies of similar wrist blood pressure monitoring devices indicate that they are capable of providing accurate measurements 13 , 14 but that the position of the arm in relation to the heart is critical ( http://www.bhsoc.org/bp-monitors/bp-monitors/ ).…”

Background This study uses data from the World Health Organization’s Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) to examine patterns of hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control for people aged 50 years and over in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, the Russian Federation and South Africa.Methods The SAGE sample comprises of 35 125 people aged 50 years and older, selected randomly. Hypertension was defined as ≥140 mmHg (systolic blood pressure) or ≥90 mmHg (diastolic blood pressure) or by currently taking antihypertensives. Control of hypertension was defined as blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg on treatment. A person was defined as aware if he/she was hypertensive and self-reported the condition.Results Prevalence rates in all countries are broadly comparable to those of developed countries (52.9%; range 32.3% in India to 77.9% in South Africa). Hypertension was associated with overweight/obesity and was more common in women, those in the lowest wealth quintile and in heavy alcohol consumers. Awareness was found to be low for all countries, albeit with substantial national variations (48.3%; range 23.3% in Ghana to 72.1% in the Russian Federation). This was also the case for control (10.2%; range 4.1% in Ghana to 14.1% India) and treatment efficacy (26.3%; range 17.4% in the Russian Federation to 55.2% in India). Awareness was associated with increasing age, being female and being overweight or obese. Effective control of hypertension was more likely in older people, women and in the richest quintile. Obesity was associated with poorer control.Conclusions The high rates of hypertension in low- and middle-income countries are striking. Levels of treatment and control are inadequate despite half those sampled being aware of their condition. Since cardiovascular disease is by far the largest cause of years of life lost in these settings, these findings emphasize the need for new approaches towards control of this major risk factor.

“…The following standardised measures were used to assess different aspects of health: The 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale 2 (WHODAS-2) was used to measure disability on a 1–5 Likert scale, spirometry tests were conducted to assess chronic pulmonary disease, a validated automated sphygmomanometer27 was used for blood pressure assessments to diagnose hypertension and the Rose questionnaire 28 was used to assess the prevalence of angina pectoris. A recent validation study on the Rose questionnaire elicited moderate sensitivity of 53% but high specificity of 89% to detect coronary heart disease in Bangladesh 29.…”
