Abstract

Introduction: HYPERTENSION due to its high PREVALENCE and its relation to cardiac disease is considered a major problem in industrialized countries; its PREVALENCE varies in different countries and in various regions within a country. The purpose of the present study is to determine the size of the problem and its distribution in a study population being educated using community-based medicine in Kermanshah in 2005. Material and Methods: For the study, 8495 persons (1957 families) were randomly selected as the subjects; they were medically examined by a team including two general practitioners and a health worker, and were evaluated for BLOOD PRESSURE, height and weight, history of high BLOOD PRESSURE and taking of anti-hypertension drugs; the 5147 subjects were aged over 15-years. Each subject's BLOOD PRESSURE were recorded once in sitting position using a sphygmomanometer. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (T-test and Chi Square ). Results: The 5147 participants (56.9% females and 43.1% males) had an average age of 34.4±15.1 years. A PREVALENCE of stage 1 & 2 HYPERTENSION 14.3% (14.1% in males and 13.7% in females) and prehypertension PREVALENCE of 15.8% was reported. The PREVALENCE of high BLOOD PRESSURE was 60.7% among 65-year-olds. The average systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were reported to be 117.5±18.3 and 74.5±13.6 respectively. The average systolic and diastolic pressure in males were significantly different from that of females (P=0.0001).There was a significant relation between age increase and PREVALENCE of high BLOOD PRESSURE. Also, an increase in BMI showed a significant increase in BLOOD PRESSURE. Conclusion: A high PREVALENCE of elevated BLOOD PRESSURE was documented in this population of Kermanshah; obesity and old age were observed to be the interventional risk factors accompanying high BLOOD PRESSURE.
