The Status and Influencing Factors of Hypertension among Floating Population in Ningxia of China
Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most common risk factors for cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of mortality globally. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and influencing factors of hypertension among the floating population in Ningxia, China, and to provide a scientific basis for hypertension prevention and control. A total of 454 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, and 421 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 147 people with hypertension. The questionnaire mainly included basic demographic information, disease situation, and lifestyle. Physical examination includes height, weight, abdominal circumference, blood sugar, and blood pressure. The results showed that there were 147 cases of hypertension among the floating population in Ningxia, and the prevalence rate was 34.9%. multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that residential pattern (OR=123.60; 95%CI = [7.46-2047.21]), diabetes mellitus (OR=66.06; 95%CI = [7.58-575.64]), alcohol consumption (OR=16.45; 95%CI = [1.57-172.75]), BMI (OR=2.51; 95%CI = [1.09-5.81]) and abdominal circumference (OR=1.38; 95%CI=[1.02-1.86]) was a risk factor (p < 0.05). Exercise (OR=0.007; 95%CI = [0.00-0.22]) was a protective factor (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there is a high prevalence of hypertension among the floating population in Ningxia, China. Alcohol consumption, diabetes, BMI, and abdominal circumference are the main risk factors. Moderate exercise can delay or reduce the prevalence of hypertension.
