ASSOCIATION OF CARDIO-METABOLIC RISK FACTORS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

Abstract

Objective: The main cardio-metabolic risk factors including arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, tobacco consumption, diabetes mellitus and obesity prevalence are increasing. During the recent 20 years prevalence of cardiovascular disease increased 5 times and leading cause of mortality in Mongolia. Thereby, we aim to study cardio-metabolic risk factors’ prevalence and their association in hypertensive and non-hypertensive subjects. Design and method: Materials and method: The hospital based study was conducted by case-control design. The case group was consisted of patients who are between the age of 20–64 years, with arterial hypertension and without signs and symptoms of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. But the control group was consisted of patients who are between the age of 20–64 years and without any signs and symptoms of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases as well as no history of hypertension. If blood pressure is = > 130/80 mm Hg, we defined as hypertensive. The serum lipid measurements and glucose were tested by “ChemWell®2910” full automated open-system analyzer of USA in “Express” diagnostic center. Data analysis was processed by using STATA 12.1 program. Results: Result: Total participants of the current study were 314 patients and 113 (36%) of them were male, 201 (64%) of them were female and average age were defined as 46.5 ± 10.4. Furthermore, 68.8% of total participants were diagnosed with dyslipidemia and 59.6% of them were diagnosed with arterial hypertension. In the case group, 187 of individuals were participated and 57.75% of them were with 2 of risk factors and in the control group, 127 of individual were participated and 43.31% of them were with 1 of risk factors. Moreover, in the arterial hypertension group, the average Body mass index was 28.97 ± 5.14 kg/m2, average waist circumference was 94.68 ± 13.17 cm, average of total cholesterol was 5.59 ± 1.53 mmol/l and the average level of LDL was 3.89 ± 4.32 mmol/l. Conclusions: Conclusion: According to our study, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and more than two risk factors were associated with the hypertension (P < 0.01).
