Assumptions about hypertension are wrong
Hypertension is a global problem that affects poorer countries as much as it affects more affluent ones, a new study suggests.
However, the authors of the study caution that hypertension may increasingly affect adults in the lowest socioeconomic groups as LMICs develop economically. Traditionally, other global health issues, particularly HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, have received the lion’s share of government funding. Hypertension, thought to be a condition affecting more affluent countries because it is associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, was ignored, he said.
Their analysis included 76 surveys, of which 58 were World Health Organization Stepwise Approach to Surveillance surveys. The median age of the participants was 40 years, and 58.5% were women. In Southeast Asia, however, there was a strong association found between the prevalence of hypertension and higher household wealth levels. Compared with the least wealthy, the risk ratio for the wealthiest was 1.28 . A similar association was found for education levels as well.
