Background:High blood pressure (HBP) is one of the risk factors
in the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this
study was to investigate the prevalence of high blood pressure and its risk
factors in the Borgou and Alibori Departments in Benin.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study and analytical held
for three months (July 1st to September 30th, 2014) and identified
volunteers at least 15 years. The factors were investigated in subjects using a
questionnaire providing clinical and behavioral data. The data were analyzed
in Epi-info and Khi2 test was used to compare proportions with a statistically
significant difference for p<0.05.
Results: A total of 1270 subjects were enrolled in the two departments. The
mean age of subjects was 42.55 ± 14.6 years. The sex ratio was 0.95. The prevalence of subjects with HBP was 31.10%. The high blood pressure was
significantly associated with a history of, diabetes (p = 0.005), with lower
limb edema (p = 0.008), the body overload (p = 0.0000), smoking ( p =
0.002), the overuse and misuse of taking infusion (p = 0.03), proteinuria (p =
0.03) and haematuria (p = 0.01).
Conclusion:The prevalence ofhigh blood pressure is higher in Borgou and
Alibori Departments in Benin and the risk factors are important. Better
prevention of risk factors contribute to reduce morbidity and mortality due to
cardiovascular disease. |
