Trends and Associated Factors of Hypertension among Residents Aged ≥15 Years in Guangzhou, China, 2004-2013.
Iranian Journal of Public Health 2018 Februrary
Background: We aimed to describe the trends and associated factors of hypertension among residents aged ≥15 yr in Guangzhou, China.
Methods: Three standardized cross-sectional health surveys were conducted in 2004, 2009 and 2013 using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, and a total of 69128 qualified participants were included in the study. The data were obtained through physical health examination and questionnaire survey.
Results: The age-standardised prevalence of hypertension increased from 12.5% to 16.0% between 2004 and 2009 and declined from 16.0% to 14.0% between 2009 and 2013, and crude prevalence respectively was 14.6%, 19.1% and 18.8% in 2004, 2009 and 2013. The proportion of optimal blood pressure dropped from 51.1% to 33.2%, high-normal blood pressure increased from 20.1% to 28.9%, grade 1 hypertension and grade 2 or 3 hypertension increased from 11.5% to 13.6% and 3.9% to 5.8% between 2004 and 2013. The average age was significantly increased ( P <0.001) from 42.8 to 47.5 yr, and the average body mass index slightly increased ( P <0.001) from 22.4 to 23.0. Logistic regression analysis shows that higher age, male, higher body mass index, smoking and drinking alcohol were potential risk factors for hypertension.
Conclusion: Both crude and age-standardized prevalence of hypertension were initially increased, but subsequently decreased in Guangzhou during 2004-2013. The optimal blood pressure population decreased significantly while the high-normal blood pressure population increased substantially during the survey period.
