The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of and to determine the factors associated with prehypertension among the hill tribe aged 30-59 years. A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data using a validated questionnaire and 5 mL blood specimens among six main hill tribe people living in 30 villages. Logistic regression was used to assess the associations between variables at a significance level of α = 0.05. A total of 1,076 individuals were recruited into the study: 67.3% were females, and 22.6% were aged 30-39 years. The overall prevalence was 67.8%. Six variables were found to be associated with prehypertension: being female; had family members ≤ 4 people; being members of Lahu, Hmong, Yao, Karen, and Lisu; had family debt; had overweight; and had a high total cholesterol. The implementation focused on encouraging active physical activity to reduce prehypertension is serious concerned and introduced.
本研究旨在估计 30-59 岁山区部落人群中高血压前期的患病率，并确定与之相关的因素。采用横断面研究方法，通过验证后的问卷和 5ml 血样收集数据，共涉及 30 个村庄的 6 个主要山区部落人群。采用 logistic 回归分析在 α=0.05 的显著性水平下评估变量之间的关联。共招募了 1076 名研究对象：67.3%为女性，22.6%年龄在 30-39 岁。总体患病率为 67.8%。有六个变量与高血压前期相关：女性；家庭成员≤4 人；属于拉祜族、苗族、瑶族、傈僳族、克伦族和傈僳族；有家庭债务；超重；总胆固醇水平高。因此，应认真关注并实施以鼓励积极的体育锻炼来降低高血压前期发病率为重点的干预措施。
