Abstract

  Background: Hypertension, which is cardiovascular disease, is on the marked increase. Determining the rate of hypertension or risk factors for cardiovascular disease related to hypertension could help people control blood pressure effectively, prevent symptoms of the disease early, improve health and the standard of living. Objectives: 1. Determining the proportion of hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors among people from 18 years upwards in Ben Tre City; 2. Surveying some factors related to hypertension of people from 18 years upwards in Ben Tre City. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 540 subjects by stratified random sampling method. Results: The proportion of people with hypertension is 43.0% (detected hypertension is 21.1%, newly discovered hypertension is 21.9%), controlled hypertension is 9.6%. Cardiovascular risk factors are obesity (45.9%), diabetes (10%), smoking (19.4%), alcohol and beer consumption (30.6%). There is a relationship between hypertension and age group, hypertension and education, hypertension with diabetes history, hypertension with obesity), hypertension with smoking, hypertension with drinking habits. Conclusions: The overall hypertension rate is 43.0%. Cardiovascular risk factors are overweight/obesity, diabetes, smoking, and drinking alcohol/beer. Each relationship has statistical significance (p<0.05) between hypertension and age group, educational level, history of diabetes, obesity/overweight, smoking, and alcohol/beer consumption.
