To investigate the prevalence rate of hypertension among 30 to 70 years old Tibetan citizens in Lhasa municipality.
A total of 371 Tibetan men and women aged between 30 to 70 years old were included in this cross-sectional epidemiological study with simple random sampling from October to November 2006. All participants were requested to fill in a Standard questionnaire, blood pressure was measured, body mass index and waist and hip circumference ratio were calculated.
The overall prevalence rate of hypertension was 40.2% (36.6% in men vs. 40.9% in women, P = 0.921). Prevalence rate of hypertension increased with age (r = 0.995, P < 0.001). The age-standardized prevalence of hypertension was 37.6% (38.0% in men and 37.5% in women). Awareness rate of hypertension was 70.9%, treatment rate of hypertension was 38.1%, and control rate of hypertension was 2.4%.
There was a high prevalence rate and poor control rate of hypertension among 30 to 70 years old citizens of Lhasa. Intensive medical care aimed to better control of blood pressure should be applied to this population.
调查拉萨市30至70岁藏族居民的高血压患病率。
2006年10月至11月，采用简单随机抽样方法，对371名年龄在30至70岁之间的藏族男女进行了这项横断面流行病学研究。所有参与者均被要求填写一份标准问卷，测量血压，计算体重指数以及腰臀围比。
高血压总体患病率为40.2%（男性为36.6%，女性为40.9%，P = 0.921）。高血压患病率随年龄增长而升高（r = 0.995，P < 0.001）。年龄标准化高血压患病率为37.6%（男性为38.0%，女性为37.5%）。高血压知晓率为70.9%，治疗率为38.1%，控制率为2.4%。
拉萨市30至70岁居民高血压患病率高且控制率差。应对该人群采取强化医疗护理措施以更好地控制血压。
