The trend of global prevalence for hypertension has been dramatically increasing for the past two decades in Southeast Asian countries. A systematic review aiming to assess the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors among the urban population in Southeast Asian countries was conducted. We performed database searches of PubMed and Web of Science and performed meta-analysis to determine the pooled prevalence estimate. The overall pooled prevalence estimate of hypertension for Southeast Asian urban population was 33.82%. Among this, 33.98% of hypertension was reported in the community and 32.45% among adolescents in school. The common risk factors that we found were male, ethnicity, education and socioeconomic level, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, and dyslipidaemia. The review indicates an urgent need for primary and secondary prevention activities. Therefore, a multisectoral and intersectoral approach and collaboration should be undertaken to improve the overall health outcomes of all populations in all Southeast Asian countries.
在过去二十年里，东南亚国家高血压的全球流行趋势急剧上升。开展了一项系统评价，旨在评估东南亚国家城市人口中高血压的患病率及其危险因素。我们对PubMed和Web of Science进行了数据库检索，并进行荟萃分析以确定合并患病率估计值。东南亚城市人口高血压的总体合并患病率估计值为33.82%。其中，社区报告的高血压患病率为33.98%，在校青少年中为32.45%。我们发现的常见危险因素有男性、种族、教育程度和社会经济水平、体重指数、腰围、吸烟和血脂异常。该评价表明迫切需要开展一级和二级预防活动。因此，应采取多部门和跨部门方法及合作，以改善所有东南亚国家所有人群的整体健康状况。
