Mối tương quan giữa sự thay đổi một số chỉ số nhân trắc và tăng huyết áp ở người dân tại Từ Liêm, Hà Nội năm 2018

Abstract

Hypertension is a metabolic disease that can be prevented and well-controlled through daily routine. Many studies have shown that overweight and obesity are risk factors for hypertension, anthropometric indicators are also associated with this situation. The study aimed to establish the correlation between hypertension and changes in some anthropometric and behavioural indicators of people aged 40 to 70. The descriptive cross-sectional study design used a standard set of questions and was adjusted to suit actual requirements. Information was collected on 400 people aged 40-70 in Bac Tu Liem and Nam Tu Liem districts from January to December 2018. The results of the research showed that people with a weight gain of 10 to less than 20 kg and those who gained more than 20 kg had a 2.2 and 4.1 times higher risk of hypertension, respectively, compared with those with a weight loss/gain no more than 5 kg. The rate of hypertension in the group that increased from 10 to less than 20 kg was 5.24 times higher than the group that lost/gained no more than 5 kg. All of the above correlations are statistically significant.
