BACKGROUND
Older adults are disproportionately affected by hypertension, which is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite these facts, no study of the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control on arterial hypertension in Senegal has been conducted, specifically among elderly people.
METHODS
Five hundred people aged 50 years and older, living in the city of Dakar were interviewed. This sample was constructed using the combined quota method in order to strive for representativeness of the target population.
RESULTS
Prevalence of hypertension was 65.4% in our sample. Half of those suffering from high blood pressure were aware of their problem and among the latter, 70% said they were on treatment. However, of these, only 17% had controlled arterial blood pressure. The only factor associated with awareness, treatment and control of hypertension was the frequency of doctor visits.
CONCLUSION
Improving follow-up health checks of older adults are necessary to limit the consequences of hypertension in Dakar.
背景
老年人受高血压影响的比例过高，而高血压是心血管疾病的既定风险因素。尽管如此，塞内加尔尚未开展关于动脉高血压患病率、知晓率、治疗和控制情况的研究，尤其是在老年人中。
方法
对居住在达喀尔市的500名50岁及以上的人进行了访谈。该样本采用综合配额法构建，以力求目标人群具有代表性。
结果
我们样本中高血压患病率为65.4%。患有高血压的人中有一半意识到了自己的问题，在这些人中，70%表示正在接受治疗。然而，其中只有17%的人动脉血压得到了控制。与高血压知晓、治疗和控制相关的唯一因素是看医生的频率。
结论
加强老年人的后续健康检查对于限制达喀尔高血压的后果是必要的。
