Hypertension and its associated risk factors in the kingdom of saudi arabia, 2013: a national survey
International journal of hypertension, 2014
Current data on hypertension in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are lacking. We conducted a national survey to inform decision-makers on the current magnitude of the epidemic. We measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure of 10,735 Saudis aged 15 years or older and interviewed them through a national multistage survey. We used multivariate logistic regressions to describe sociodemographic characteristics and risk factors of hypertensive, borderline hypertensive, and undiagnosed hypertensive Saudis. We found that 15.2% and 40.6% of Saudis were hypertensive or borderline hypertensive, respectively. Risk of hypertension increased among men, with age, obesity, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. 57.8% of hypertensive Saudis were undiagnosed. These were more likely to be male, older, and diagnosed with diabetes. Among participants diagnosed with hypertension, 78.9% reported taking medication for their condition. About 45% of participants on medication for hypertension had their blood pre...
Introduction: Hypertension is one of the top non communicable disease in Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of hypertension was 26.1% in crude terms. For males, the prevalence of hypertension was 28.6%, while for females; the prevalence was significantly lower at 23.9%. Patients\\\' awareness is important in the early diagnosis and treatment of many diseases including hypertension. This study contributes in exploring the awareness of hypertension among Saudis population in Al-Madinah Al-Muonawwara. Objective:To estimate prevalence, awareness, treatment adherence and associated factors of hypertension among Saudi aduly population in Al-Madinah. Methods: Cross-sectional design with multistage cluster stratified sampling was used to include 451 Saudi adults participants in the study. Self administered questionnaire was piloted and used to collect the required data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Univariate analysis was done and cross tabulation was used to summarize the frequency and percentage of the variables. Chi-square was used as an appropriate statistical test and P? 0.05 was used as a statistical significant level. Multiple regression was used to control for confounders and assess the risk factors. Results: 15% of the participants has hypertension. Among those with hypertension 77% (50/65) has good knowledge and awareness of hypertension. Approximately half of the participants had changes their life style, 43% (28/65), and had irregular follow up with their doctors, but one third of them did not adhere to their treatment. After adjustment of the confounding factors, hypertension was increased two times by existing of family history of hypertension and higher level of education (PhD holders), (odds ratio =1.99, 95%CI (1.002, 3.96) and (2.05, 95%CI=1.06, 3.99) respectively. Conclusion: Hypertension prevalence was high in Al-Madinah community. Those with hypertension have good awareness about the disease but one third of them did not adhere to third treatment. A control program of hypertension is of utmost important to be established in Al-Madinah.
Relationship between risk factors and hypertension Riyadh-Saudi Arabia
hypertension is persistent elevation of blood hypertension is important to study because it is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. This study is to find out the relationship between risk factors such as age, obesity, gender, genetics, stress, physical activity, salt, smoking and primary hypertension. Method: A case – control study was conducted on risk factors of hypertension .A questionnaires was designed to collect data 60 patients, 30 cases, 30 control in Almubarak hospital during the period of May 11 2014 to May 15 2014. Result: it was found that 43.3% out of 30 cases were obese; while, it was found that 16.7 % of controls were obese. This difference was statistical significant (p=0.0242) of the cases. And 77% were overweight and obese compared to 33% of controls. This difference was also statistical significance (p=0.0007). In addition, it was found that 56.6 % of cases were nonsmokers, while 40 % of controls were nonsmoker; this difference was statically significance (p=0.0013) of cases 43% were smokers compared to 83 % of controls.

Evaluating factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension: Isfahan cohort study, Iran
ARYA atherosclerosis, 2014
Hypertension (HTN) considers as one of the most common risk factors, which potentially raises the risk of cardiovascular disease. Regarding high prevalence of HTN among Iranian population this study designed to examine a range of socio-demographic and clinical variables to determine the association with failure to achieve blood pressure control in a cohort of hypertensive subjects. This retrospective cohort study is a part of Isfahan cohort study which carried out on adults aged 35 years old or more. Subjects with confirmed HTN entered in this sub-study. For all subjects questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, clinical data and lifestyle behavior completed by trained nurses. Uncontrolled HTN was defined as systolic and diastolic blood pressure more than 140/90 in the presence or absent of pharmacological treatment. The prevalence of uncontrolled men was significantly higher than controlled in both 2001 and 2007 (P < 0.001). A significant association was found be...

REVIEW OF THE PREVALENCE AND AWARENESS REGARDING HYPERTENSION IN SAUDI ARABIA QR code
Hypertension is a controllable factor which contributes to the burden of many common non-communicable diseases globally. This study provides a general view on hypertension prevalence and awareness among Saudis. Prevalences have ranged from (15.2%) to (54.9%) in multiple studies. The variation is mainly due to the studied age group, cutoff measures, and methods of detecting the prevalence. Awareness was investigated as well to know the other factors contributing to the high prevalence rates. Adherence was addressed as the major issue in controlling hypertension in Saudi Arabia. However, while awareness is considered to be satisfactory, more attention should be paid towards adherence to medication to achieve a better control over hypertension.
