Abstract

Hypertension is one of the main health problems worldwide and causes mortality following cardiovascular complications. In this cross sectional study 4847 subjects were selected and studied from URBAN and RURAL populations of Tabriz using cluster sampling method.The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of HYPERTENSION in URBAN and RURAL areas of Tabriz and its correlation with various factors.Results of this study indicated that the prevalence of HYPERTENSION was 20.82% in both population and significant statistical differences was not found regarding sex. Over 90% of the cases were mild HYPERTENSION. Regarding the age, HYPERTENSION was more prevalent as age increases (p<0.05). Regarding the weight of the subjects also significant differences observed as HYPERTENSION was more prevalent in obesitive subjects and its prevalence increased as 2.6 fold comparing normal weight subjects. When the factor of living area was considered it was revealed that this factor also int1uences the HYPERTENSION, as subjects living in RURAL areas showed more normal BLOOD PRESSURE than those living in URBAN ones. In RURAL subjects the mean of systolic and diastolic BLOOD PRESSURE were 10 mmHg and 2mmHg higher than those of URBAN subjects, respectively (p<0.05). According to our results cigarette smoking did not int1uences BLOOD PRESSURE and HYPERTENSION recorded as 18.47% in smokers, while 22.02% in non smokers.
