Although hypertension is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Mongolia, reviews about hypertension in this country have not been reported, to our knowledge. Information on the overview of this disease may be useful to establish measures and policy to prevent hypertension and its related complications. The aim of our article is to summarize the current situation vis-à-vis hypertension in Mongolia.
Population-based studies that provided relevant information on hypertension in Mongolia were searched through PubMed, abstract books of the Mongolian Medical University resources from cardiologists, epidemiological databases and reliable websites of national organizations. Available articles from 1970 to present were selected.
A high prevalence of hypertension, which varied according to geographic location, exists among Mongolian people. The prevalence of hypertension may be influenced by nutritional factors, sedentary lifestyle, socioeconomic status and environmental factors in particular.
The high prevalence of hypertension among Mongolian people can be a serious health problem in this country. Defining ethnic features of hypertension and related conditions will be the initial step that may lead to prevention of this disease. Further research and positive efforts to prevent hypertension appear necessary for Mongolians.
尽管高血压是蒙古心血管疾病发病率和死亡率的主要原因，但据我们所知，尚未有针对该国高血压的相关综述。了解此类疾病的概况信息可能有助于制定预防高血压及其相关并发症的措施和政策。本文旨在总结蒙古高血压的现状。
通过 PubMed、蒙古医科大学心脏病专家资源的摘要书籍、流行病学数据库和国家组织的可靠网站搜索了提供蒙古高血压相关信息的基于人群的研究。选择了从 1970 年至今发表的文章。
蒙古人群中高血压的患病率较高，且存在地域差异。高血压的患病率可能受到营养因素、久坐的生活方式、社会经济地位和环境因素的影响。
蒙古人群中高血压的高患病率可能是该国的一个严重健康问题。确定高血压的民族特征和相关条件将是预防该疾病的第一步。蒙古人需要进一步研究和积极努力预防高血压。
