ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand prevalence, control of hypertension and intake of sodium and potassium among residents aged 50-69 years old in Zhejiang Province.@*Methods@#A multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 032 residents aged 50-69 years old in Zhejiang Province. The demographic characteristics, prevalence and control of hypertension were collected through a questionnaire survey, and physical measurement was also performed. The stratified random sampling method was used to detect the level of sodium and potassium in the 24 h urine of 676 subjects. The total amount of 24 h urinary sodium ≥102.55 mmol and the ratio of 24 h urinary sodium and potassium content ≥2 were defined as excessive.@*Results@#The prevalence of hypertension (95%CI) was 56.89% (54.39%-59.40%), and the awareness, treatment and control rate of hypertension were 58.25% (55.01%-61.49%), 45.37% (42.10%-48.65%) and 19.75% (17.01%-22.50%), respectively. 78.99% (n=534) of residents had excessive 24 h urinary sodium, and 95.41% (n=360) of residents had excessive ratio of 24 h urinary sodium and potassium.@*Conclusion@#The prevalence of hypertension in residents aged 50-69 years old in Zhejiang Province was at a high level, and the control of hypertension was not satisfactory in 2017. Most of residents have excessive level of sodium intake and the level of sodium and potassium intake was not balanced.
ABSTRACT
Objective @#To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention among residents in Liandu District of Lishui,and to provide reference for intervention of salt reduction.@*Methods @#Residents aged 18-69 years in two communities and three towns of Liandu District were selected by multistage stratified random sampling method. They were investigated the prevalence of hypertension and knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors for knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention.@*Results @#Among 1 801 participants,1 509 completed the survey,with a response rate of 83.79%. The prevalence of hypertension was 31.88%. The proportions of the participants who had knowledge, attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention were 33.40%,60.70% and 58.58%,respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that women（OR=1.583,95%CI：1.248-2.008）,hypertension（OR= 1.734,95%CI：1.303-2.308）,30 to 39 years old（OR=0.368,95%CI：0.226-0.597）,junior high school and above education（OR=0.057-0.403,95%CI：0.036-0.577）were the influencing factors for the knowledge of salt reduction for hypertension prevention;women（OR=1.342,95%CI：1.072-1.679）,married（OR=1.582,95%CI：1.167-2.144）,junior or senior high school education（OR=0.235-0.525,95%CI：0.163-0.736）,having the knowledge（OR=2.640,95%CI：2.033-3.430）were the influencing factors for the attitude of salt reduction for hypertension prevention;women（OR=1.632,95%CI：1.304-2.044）,30 to 39 years old（OR=0.494,95%CI：0.346-0.705）,rural residents（OR= 1.617,95%CI：1.276-2.050）,family history of chronic diseases（OR=1.455,95%CI：1.148-1.845）,having the knowledge（OR= 1.396,95%CI：1.084-1.797）,having the attitude（OR=4.059,95%CI：3.203-5.145）were the influencing factor for the practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention.@*Conclusion @#The residents in Liandu District had low levels of the knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention. The higher levels of the knowledge and attitude of salt reduction for hypertension prevention,the higher level of the practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the sodium,potassium and blood pressure of adult residents in Liandu District of Lishui,and to provide evidence for salt reduction intervention.@*Methods@#A stratified random sampling method was used to select residents aged 18 to 69 years in Liandu District from December 2016 to February 2017. A questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted to collect basic information. The 24-hour urine samples were collected to detect sodium and potassium intake.@*Results@#Among 300 participants,the average daily intake of sodium was（10.59±3.90）g,which was higher in men than in women [（11.11±4.33）g vs.（10.08±3.37）g,P<0.05]. There were 274 participants with average daily intake of sodium more than 6 g,accounting for 91.33%. The average daily intake of potassium was（1.67±0.71）g,which was higher in women than in men [（1.77±0.72）g vs.（1.57±0.68）g,P<0.05]. The average daily intakes of potassium were significantly different among different age groups,with participants aged 20 to 29 years the lowest（P<0.05）. There were 217 participants with average daily intake of potassium less than 2 g,accounting for 72.33%. The ratio of sodium to potassium was 4.7±2.2,which was higher in men than in women（5.3±2.7 vs. 4.1±1.4,P<0.05）and decreased with age（P<0.05）. There were 291 participants with the ratio more than 1.87,accounting for 97.00%. The prevalence of hypertension was 31.67%,which was 33.65% in men and 29.80% in women.@*Conclusion@#The residents in Liandu District have high intake of sodium and prevalence of hypertension,yet low intake of potassium.
