- W4315709213 abstract "Objective: To increase public awareness on importance of blood pressure (BP) screening for hypertension prevention and management through a national campaign in Nepal. Design: Opportunistic BP screening campaign was carried out among people 18 years or more in the year 2020, following the COVID-19 safety measures. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. Method: Systolic and diastolic BP data of the participants were obtained from three consecutive measurements of which second and third measurements were used to estimate the mean. Hypertension was defined as the systolic BP more than or equal to 140 and/or diastolic BP more than or equal to 90 mmHg or currently taking antihypertensive medicine. The screening campaign was conducted in 25 sites of the country. Measurement was done using OMRON automatic monitors. Altogether, 115 volunteer research assistants with public health background used mobilized for data collection. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with hypertension. Results: In total, 11,481 people participated in the BP screening campaign of which more than half were females (57%, 6568/11,481). Mean age of the participants was 45 ± 17 years. Mean systolic and diastolic BP were 125.8 ± 18 and 81.6 ± 10.5 respectively. Nearly a third (31.1%, 3592/11,481) of participants were hypertensive of which only 40% (1444/3592) were aware about their hypertension status. However, only about 80% (1146/14444) hypertensive participants were talking medicines. High age-group, high body mass index and smoking were found associated with hypertension adjusting age, sex and body mass index and smoking status of the participants. Conclusions: Blood pressure screening campaign provided an important opportunity to identify undiagnosed hypertension and raise awareness on hypertension among the general population. Awareness raising programs at the population and targeted interventions are warranted for prevention and control of hypertension in Nepal among older, overweight, and obese people and smokers." @default.
