The Previous and Current Status of Hypertension, Hyperglycemia and Hyperlipidemia among the Primary and Middle School Teachers in Wuhu City / 中国慢性病预防与控制

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the previous and current status of hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in teachers of the primary and middle high schools of Wuhu city. Methods 2 026 teachers aged 30~85 yrs were cluster sampled from 10 primary and 10 middle high schools in WuHu city. They were investigated on their previous examination of blood pressure, blood glucose & lipids, and current prevalence of hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Results The previous detection rates of the blood pressure, blood glucose and the blood lipid were 65.24%, 35.21% and 37.84%, respectively. The female previous detection rate of blood glucose and lipids was significant higher than those of the male (?2=4.42,P=0.035;?2=5.42, P=0.020). The result of trends test showed that detection rates were increased with the age increasing. The prevalence of hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia were 21.39%, 3.21% and 37.90%, respectively, among the participations without previous detection for the blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid, the hypertension prevalence was significant difference between the male and female participations (26.29% vs 18.68%; ?2=5.58, P=0.018). The medication compliance rate of the hypertensions, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia were 70.75%, 70.74% and 15.18% and the control rates were 47.04%, 72.22% and 5.85%. Concludes It is important to strengthen the detection of the blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid in community population in order to prevent and control the cardiovascular diseases.
