This systematic review and meta-analysis will investigate the pooled prevalence of hypertension and associated factors among bank workers in Africa.
Studies published with full texts in English will be searched in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar databases. Checklists from the Joanna Briggs Institute will be used to assess the studies' methodology quality. Data extraction, critical appraisal, and screening of all retrieved articles will be conducted by two independent reviewers. Statistical analysis will be performed using STATA-14 software packages. A random effect will be employed to demonstrate pooled estimates of hypertension among bank workers. For determinants of hypertension, an effect size with a 95% confidence interval will be analyzed.
Data extraction and statistical analyses will begin after identifying the most pertinent studies and evaluating their methodological quality. Data synthesis and the presentation of the results are scheduled for completion by the end of 2023. After the review is completed, the results will be presented at relevant conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Hypertension is a major public health concern in Africa. More than 2 out of 10 people aged older than 18 years suffer from hypertension. A number of factors contribute to hypertension in Africa. These factors include female gender, age, overweight or obesity, khat chewing, alcohol consumption, and family history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. To address the alarming rise in hypertension in Africa, behavioral risk factors should be given primary attention.

本系统评价和荟萃分析将调查非洲银行工作人员中高血压的合并患病率及相关因素。
将在PubMed/MEDLINE、护理及相关健康文献累积索引、非洲在线期刊和谷歌学术数据库中检索以英文全文发表的研究。将使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的清单来评估研究的方法学质量。由两名独立的评审员对所有检索到的文章进行数据提取、批判性评价和筛选。将使用STATA - 14软件包进行统计分析。将采用随机效应来展示银行工作人员中高血压的合并估计值。对于高血压的决定因素，将分析效应大小及95%置信区间。
在确定最相关的研究并评估其方法学质量后，将开始数据提取和统计分析。数据综合和结果呈现计划于2023年底完成。审查完成后，结果将在相关会议上展示并发表在同行评审期刊上。
高血压是非洲主要的公共卫生问题。18岁以上人群中，每10人中有超过2人患有高血压。非洲高血压的发生有多种因素。这些因素包括女性性别、年龄、超重或肥胖、咀嚼恰特草、饮酒以及高血压和糖尿病家族史。为应对非洲高血压令人担忧的上升趋势，应首要关注行为危险因素。
本系统评价和荟萃分析方案已在PROSPERO注册，注册ID和链接如下：CRD42022364354；CRD - register@york.ac.ukhttps://www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd。
