Abstract
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:
Isolated systolic hypertension is defined as Systolic blood pressure ≥140 and a Diastolic blood pressure <90mm Hg. The rate of isolated systolic hypertension increased with increasing age in both sexes, isolated systolic hypertension, more than any other hypertension subtype, increases the risk for stroke and coronary heart diseases and is associated with many complications.
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension among the adult population in Baghdad.
METHODS:
A cross-sectional study using a convenient sample from the outpatient clinic in Baghdad aged (18-60) year. Data was collected using a questionnaire as a direct interview, with measurements of weight, height and blood pressure.
RESULTS:
A total of 800 adults, were included in the final analysis. Males constituted about 52.1% of the study population. The prevalence of undiagnosed isolated systolic hypertension was 11.4%. Four factors were found to be significant independent risk factors. Age (increasing one year will increase the risk of isolated systolic hypertension by (OR=1.03), illiteracy (OR=1.4), BMI (OR=1.08), and male gender (OR=1.77).
CONCLUSION:
Undiagnosed Isolated systolic hypertension is common and increased with age in both men and women. And more common among males with association with low education and BMI.
