ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the awareness rate and treatment and control rate of hypertension as well as the related influencing factors among residents aged 35-75 years in Chongqing, and to provide a reference for comprehensive prevention and control of hypertension. Methods Residents between the ages of 35 and 75 years old were recruited from 8 sites of China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events in Chongqing. All participants were interviewed with structured questionnaires, and physical examination, glucose test and lipid test were performed. The data were analyzed by SPSS 25.0. The differences in the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension of different populations were compared by chi-square test. The related factors influencing the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were identified by step backward bivariate multivariate logistic regression model. Results A total of 101 036 cases were recruited into this study. The prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes were 31.48%, 40.80% and 17.16%, respectively. The age standardized prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes were 30.81%, 33.91% and 14.35%, respectively. The rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were 45.65%, 36.03% and 11.60%, respectively. The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that factors including age, household registration, occupation, alcohol use, smoking status, body weight, central obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were related to the awareness rate of hypertension. Factors including age, household registration, race, household income, alcohol use, body weight, central obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were related to the treatment rate of hypertension. Factors including age, household registration, household income, alcohol use, central obesity and diabetes were related to the rate of blood pressure control. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension was high in Chongqing, but the rate of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension was low. It is suggested that comprehensive measures should be implemented to raise the rate of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension for the prevention and control of hypertension.
