Abstract: (529 Views)
Background: Hypertension is the first risk factor for death worldwide and is one of the most important chronic diseases in developed and developing countries. The high prevalence of high blood pressure worldwide, on the one hand, and its serious and dangerous complications on body organs, on the other hand, have made this disease a major health problem in all societies. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of high blood pressure in people aged 18 to 35 years in patients referred to hospitals in Jahrom city in 2023.
Method: The study was a cross-sectional-analytical study that was conducted on 160 patients aged 18 to 35 years who referred to hospitals of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. Demographic information was collected by a questionnaire, and then the blood pressure of the individuals was measured using a standard method, and those who had high blood pressure had their blood pressure measured again two weeks later. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 21 software and descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The results of the study showed that 34 percent (55 people) of patients had uncontrolled blood pressure with medication, 12 percent (19 people) had controlled blood pressure with medication, and 54 percent (86 people) of patients had hypertension without medication. The result of the chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference between the study groups in terms of occupation (p=0.032). Also, when comparing the three groups of patients in terms of demographic information, physical activity, sleep duration, and nutrition, no significant relationship was observed.
Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension in urban society is high, and the rate and treatment are low. Therefore, the intervention of health centers is necessary for education, prevention, lifestyle changes, and monitoring of people from a young age.
