目的：了解洛美普通成人高血压患病率及其他心血管危险因素。方法：2009年10月至2010年1月在洛美市对2000名18岁及以上的高血压及其他心血管危险因素进行横断面入户调查。采用了世界卫生组织针对非传染性疾病的steps明智方法。在第一阶段，连续三次测量血压（BP），间隔一分钟，并记录平均值。第二次测量是在三周后对第一次测量时血压为140/90 mmHg的患者进行的。高血压的定义是在第二次治疗后或抗高血压治疗后血压达到140/90 mmHg。其他危险因素通过临床和血液分析进行研究。结果：在2000名受试者中发现532例高血压患者。高血压患病率为26.6%。高血压患者的平均年龄为45±10岁，年龄范围为18 ~ 98岁。其他心血管危险因素的患病率为：压力（43%）、久坐生活方式（41%）、高胆固醇血症（26%）、肥胖（25.2%）、高甘油三酯血症（21%）、吸烟（9.3%）、饮酒（11%）和糖尿病（7.3%）。结论：洛美人群高血压及其他心血管危险因素的患病率较高。这些发现应引起当局的注意，以确定一项国家政策，以对抗高血压和其他心血管危险因素。
Objective: To determine the prevalence of hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors in the general adult population of Lome.Methods: A cross-sectional household survey was conducted in Lome from October 2009 to January 2010, which focused on hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors in 2 000 subjects 18 years and older. The World Health Organisation's STEPS-wise approach on non-communicable diseases was used. During the first session, blood pressure (BP) was measured on three successive occasions, one minute apart, and the mean was recorded. A second measurement session was done three weeks later in patients with BP >= 140/90 mmHg during the first session. Hypertension was defined as BP > 140/90 mmHg after the second session, or on antihypertensive treatment. The other risk factors were studied by clinical and blood analysis.Results: We found 532 hypertensive patients out of a total of 2 000 subjects. The prevalence of hypertension was 26.6%. The mean age of hypertensive patients was 45 +/- 10 years, ranging from 18 to 98 years. The prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors was: stress (43%), sedentary lifestyle (41%), hypercholesterolaemia (26%), obesity (25.2%), hypertriglyceridaemia (21%), smoking (9.3%), alcohol use (11%) and diabetes (7.3%).Conclusions: The prevalence of hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors in the population of Lome is high. These findings should draw the attention of authorities to define a national policy to combat hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors.
