To provide an update on blood pressure (BP) levels and hypertension correlates in urban workers in Ibadan, Nigeria, we administered a questionnaire to, and measured the BP in, 608 men and 309 women, age range 18-64 years. Systolic BP (SBP) rose in men and women after the age of 25, but the rise in diastolic BP (DBP) started earlier dropping in women only after the age of 44. SBP and DBP were higher in men than women (P < 0.001). The prevalence of hypertension was 9.3% in the population, being 10.4% in men and 7.1% in women; age-adjusted rates were 9.8% and 8.0% respectively. The prevalence of hypertension increased with age in both genders. Body mass index was correlated to SBP (r = 0.142, P = 0.022) and DBP (r = 0.149, P = 0.032) in men, and with SBP (r = 0.1501, P = 0.013) and DBP (r = 0.1569, P = 0.0085) in women. BP was correlated to years of education (P < 0.001) and income (P < 0.001) in men, but not in women. Regular and moderate alcohol consumption was associated with hypertension (chi2 = 4.8, P < 0.05). Awareness of BP status was generally low, 7.7% in men and 8.7% in women, but was significantly higher in the hypertensives than the normotensives (chi2 = 241, P < 0.0001). The hypertension prevalence rates are not too different from figures obtained in the last four decades, which generally have not exceeded 15%, inspite of the apparent influence of the modernisation indices of education and income.
为了更新尼日利亚伊巴丹城市工人的血压水平及高血压相关情况，我们对608名男性和309名年龄在18至64岁之间的女性进行了问卷调查并测量了血压。25岁之后，男性和女性的收缩压（SBP）均有所上升，但舒张压（DBP）的上升开始得更早，且仅在44岁之后女性的舒张压才开始下降。男性的收缩压和舒张压高于女性（P<0.001）。该人群中高血压患病率为9.3%，男性为10.4%，女性为7.1%；年龄调整率分别为9.8%和8.0%。高血压患病率在两性中均随年龄增长而增加。男性的体重指数与收缩压（r=0.142，P=0.022）和舒张压（r=0.149，P=
