ATIQUL ISLAM | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | Background: Hypertension is a major public health problem
now a days and this plays a major etiologic role in the development of
IHD, stroke and renal failure. Like other developing countries,
prevalence of hypertension is increasing in Bangladesh. Subjects and methods: This was a cross sectional study, carried out
among the offspring’s of the hypertensive patient. Hypertension and
Research Center Rangpur, Bangladesh was established on 14th
November, 2008. This center serves only hypertensive patients and
working enormously to generate awareness of hypertension. This center
follows follow up schedule of JNC-7, (in uncontrolled hypertensive
patient 3-4 weekly, in controlled hypertensive patient 3-6 monthly).
When any patient do not come to follow up 3 months after the
scheduled follow up date, he/she is declared as drop out from follow
up and telephone call is given to know the cause of drop out. By this
way, this center traced 200 patients who died between November, 2008
to December, 2013. Among these 200 patients 118 victim’s relative
could respond for this study. All the families of these 118 victims were
contacted individually to collect data from the son or daughters of the
victim.
Results: In this study we have studied a total of 198 people of
both sexes. Male were found preponderance (81.8% vs 18.2%). Mean
age of the study population was 36.58 years (SD±15.52). Among the
198 population screened for hypertension, 44 had hypertension, giving
the prevalence rate of 22.22% and 55.1% (109) had pre-hypertension. If
we take only adult population then the prevalence of hypertension
increased to 23.15%. The prevalence of hypertension was more in male
(81.8 %%) than female (18.21%). An upward trend in prevalence was
observed with increase in age, particularly in male (18.18% in ?29 in
male and 50% in ?70 years). In our study prevalence of hypertension
were more in ex-smoker than smoker and non-smoker (26.1%, 23.2%
and 21% respectively). But the prevalence of hypertension was higher
in those who used to take SLT (27.8% vs 21.7%). Prevalence of
hypertension was more in those who used to take added salt than who
did not take added salt (30.3% vs 20.60%). Among the study
population obesity (BMI ?30 kg/M2) was found in 3.53%%. Prevalence
of hypertension was more in obese than others.
Conclusion: More than one fifth of the offspring’s of the
hypertensive patients developed hypertension. Regular screening is
important for earlier detection of hypertension in these people and
caring of the risk factors may prevent development of hypertension. | | Keywords : | | | Offspring, Rangpur, Bangladesh |
