Abstract:
Objective To study risk factors for high-normal blood pressure (HNBP) in residents of urban Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, China. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 17 500 residents in urban area of Xuzhou from June to December 2008 by cluster sampling with self-designed questionnaire to collect their demographic information and measurements of body height, weight and blood pressure. Data were approached to univariate and multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 17 306 residents finished the survey, with an overall response rate of 98.9percent. Results of univariate analysis revealed that 13 variables such as living region, sex, age,occupation, annual average family income, history of dyslipidemia, smoking, alcohol drinking, intake of pork, and vegetables, daily length of sleeping, body mass index (BMI), abdominal obesity, all were related to HNBP ( P < 0. 05 ). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that living region, sex,age, annual average family income, alcohol drinking, intake of vegetable, BMI, abdominal obesity all associated with HNBP (P<0. 05). Conclusions Older age, history of alcohol drinking, increased BMI,abdominal obesity all are risk factors to prompt occurrence of HNBP, and intake of large amount of vegetables is its protective factor.
