Keywords:
Non Coastal Area, Coastal Area, Prehypertension.Abstract
Background: Prehypertension is a warning to individuals with resting blood pressures between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg of an insidious progression of blood pressure towards hypertensive levels (≥140/90 mmHg). Prehypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and end organ damage compared with individuals who are normotensive.
Aim: To assess the prevalence of pre hypertension.
Setting and Design: The study was conducted in coastal areas and non-coastal areas by using a descriptive design.
Materials and Methods: A total of 514 samples were included in this study. Among this, 220 samples belongs to coastal areas and 294 samples belongs to non-coastal areas by using convenience sampling technique.
Statistical Analysis Used: The collected data was organized, tabulated, analysed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics based on the objectives of the study.
Results:
In coastal areas, among 220 samples, with regard to pre hypertension, 123 (55.90%) samples are with SBP pre hypertension and 7(3.18%) samples are with DBP prehypertension. In non-coastal areas, among 294 samples, with regard to pre hypertension, 97 (32.99%) samples are with SBP pre hypertension and no woman was found with DBP prehypertension.
Conclusion: The above results shown that pre hypertension values are higher in the coastal areas than in the non-coastal areas.
