Abstract:
Objective To survey the current situation of hypertension among "three minority ethnic groups" in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods Hypertension epidemiological survey among Three Minority Ethnic Groups and Han nationality aged ≥ 18 years was performed from June to December 2010.Results The prevalence rate of hypertension among the surveyed population was 29.4% (630/2 146) (standardized prevalence was 34.6%).The prevalence rate of hypertension in male was 33.8% (359/1 062) (standardized prevalence was 39.9%),and the prevalence rate in female was 25.0% (271/1 084) (standardized prevalence was 26.6%),and the prevalence rate in male was higher than in female (P < 0.01).The prevalence rate of hypertension for the Oroqen nationality,Ewenki nationality and Daur nationality was 33.8% (92/272),32.4% (170/524),and 30.2% (174/576) respectively (standardized prevalence was 33.7%,33.1%,and 3 1.3%),and which was significantly higher than in the Han nationality (25.1% (194/774),P < 0.01) (standardized prevalence was 25.8%).The awareness,treatment and control rate of hypertension in the Oroqen nationality residents was 64.1% (59/92),56.5% (52/92),27.2% (25/92) (standardized rate was 63.5%,56.8% and 27.4%),and 60.0% (102/170),53.5% (91/170),24.1% (41/170) (standardized rate was 62.9%,56.7%,26.6%) in the Ewenki nationality residents,and 59.2% (103/174),54.0% (94/174),20.7% (36/174) (standardized rate was 60.3%,54.7%,21.4%) in the Daur nationality residents,and 65.0% (126/194),57.7% (112/194),27.3% (53/194) (standardized rate was 63.3%,56.5%,27.1%) in the Han nationality residents.Awareness rate,treatment rate and control rate were similar among different nationalities (all P > 0.05).Conclusion The prevalence rate of hypertension among " three minority ethnic groups" residents in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is high and comprehensive prevention and therapy strategies are warranted to reduce the hypertension burden in these residents.
