To investigate the prevalence of hypertension and risk factors in Uygur adults in Kashgar of Xinjiang. A total of 4 748 Uygur adults aged ≥18 years selected through cluster random sampling in Shufu county of Kashgar prefecture were surveyed by means of questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory test. The prevalence, awareness, treatment and control rate of hypertension of different groups were calculated and risk factors of hypertension was analyzed by using non-conditional logistic regression model. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 15.73 (age-adjusted prevalence was 13.75). The prevalence rates of hypertension in men and women were 16.36 (age-adjusted prevalence was 12.96), 15.39 (age-adjusted prevalence was 14.34), respectively. The rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were 59.57, 52.74, 21.29, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension increased with age. Compared with age group 18-34 years, the age groups 55-64, ≥65 years had higher risk of hypertension and the values were 10.53, 20.96 for men and 16.27, 33.20 for women. The overweight (=1.47 for men, =1.82 for women, <0.05) and obesity (=1.88 for men, =2.66 for women, <0.05) also increased the risk of hypertension. The groups with family history of hypertension (=3.85 for men, =2.34 for women, <0.05) also had higher risk of hypertension. Hypertriglyceridemia was positively correlated with the prevalence of hypertension in men (=1.62, 95: 1.09-2.41). The prevalence of hypertension in Uygur adults in Kashgar area of Xinjiang was at relatively low level. The related risk factors were age, overweight, obesity, family history and hypertriglyceridemia in men and the risk factors were similar in women except hypertriglyceridemia.
