Diabetes and hypertension are common chronic diseases that affect about one fifth of Sudanese adults. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of hypertension among Sudanese individuals with diabetes.
This a survey in diabetes healthcare facility-based study that recruited 266 individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM). Data was collected using a standardized pretested questionnaire, and was analyzed by performing descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS program.
The study showed that average age of participants was 58.7 (±10.5 SD) years, males were 59% and most of the participants (72.6%) from urban areas. Diabetes for 1-5 years was observed in 10.9% and for more than 11 years in 71.4%. The majority (91.7%) had type 2 diabetes mellitus while only (8.3%) had type 1 diabetes. The prevalence of hypertension was 47.7% among the study group, this was significantly associated with age (p value 0.016), and retinopathy (p value 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine and retinopathy had statistically significant associations with the presence of hypertension (p values 0.002,0,016, 0.008,0.001) respectively.
Prevalence of hypertension in Sudanese patients with diabetes presenting to diabetes clinic was 47.7%, and it increased with age and presence of retinopathy. Risk factors of hypertension were age, body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine and retinopathy.
糖尿病和高血压是常见的慢性病，约影响五分之一的苏丹成年人。本研究旨在评估苏丹糖尿病患者中高血压的患病率。
这是一项基于糖尿病医疗机构的调查研究，招募了266例糖尿病患者。使用经过预测试的标准化问卷收集数据，并通过SPSS程序进行描述性和推断性统计分析。
研究表明，参与者的平均年龄为58.7（±10.5标准差）岁，男性占59%，大多数参与者（72.6%）来自城市地区。观察到10.9%的患者糖尿病病程为1 - 5年，71.4%的患者病程超过11年。大多数（91.7%）患有2型糖尿病，只有（8.3%）患有1型糖尿病。研究组中高血压患病率为47.7%，这与年龄（p值0.016）和视网膜病变（p值0.001）显著相关。逻辑回归分析表明，年龄、体重指数（BMI）、血清肌酐和视网膜病变与高血压的存在分别具有统计学显著相关性（p值分别为0.002、0.016、0.008、0.001）。
到糖尿病诊所就诊的苏丹糖尿病患者中高血压患病率为47.7%，且随年龄和视网膜病变的出现而增加。高血压的危险因素为年龄、体重指数（BMI）、血清肌酐和视网膜病变。
