To determine the proportion with hypertension among opportunistic screenees in the Republic of the Congo. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Republic of the Congo in May 2018. This screening was done in urban and rural areas that included Brazzaville, Pointe-Noire, District of Ngoyo, and District of Nkayi. The study protocol was provided by the International Society of Hypertension, and local ethical clearance was obtained. The data were processed by the May Measurement Month global project team. In total, 6169 people were screened, 2418 of which were female (39.2%). Most of the people screened were from 18 to 29 years old ( = 4184, 67.8%). The proportion of hypertension found was 22.2% ( = 1371). Among the hypertensive patients, 40.2% were aware of their hypertension, but only 493 (36.0%) were on antihypertensive treatment, and only 16.0% were controlled. The frequency of diabetes was 2.2% ( = 135), 2.3% ( = 139) had a previous stroke, and overweight and obesity were present in 15.4% ( = 952) and 7.3% ( = 449), respectively. Hypertension is frequent in the Republic of the Congo, and levels of awareness, treatment and control are low. Actions are needed to increase access of all to a correct diagnosis and treatment of hypertension to achieve universal health coverage.
确定刚果共和国机会性筛查人群中的高血压患病率。这项横断面研究于2018年5月在刚果共和国进行。筛查在城乡地区开展，包括布拉柴维尔、黑角、恩戈约区和恩卡伊区。研究方案由国际高血压学会提供，并获得了当地伦理许可。数据由“五月测量月”全球项目团队处理。总共筛查了6169人，其中2418人为女性（39.2%）。大多数接受筛查的人年龄在18至29岁之间（n = 4184，67.8%）。发现的高血压患病率为22.2%（n = 1371）。在高血压患者中，40.2%知晓自己患有高血压，但只有493人（36.0%）接受了降压治疗，且只有16.0%的患者血压得到控制。糖尿病患病率为2.2%（n = 135），2.3%（n = 139）曾有中风史，超重和肥胖的比例分别为15.4%（n = 952）和7.3%（n = 449）。高血压在刚果共和国很常见，知晓率、治疗率和控制率较低。需要采取行动，让所有人都能更方便地获得高血压的正确诊断和治疗，以实现全民健康覆盖。
