Abstract:
Objective To understand the prevalence of hypertension and quantitative relationship between family history and the risk of hypertension among rural residents living in Hanzhong District,Shaanxi province.Methods A multistage random sampling survey was conducted.Data on the characteristics related to hypertension were collected and physical examination was conducted.Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between family history and hypertension.Results A total number of 2 817 rural residents aged 18-80 with complete information were recruited.The crude prevalence of hypertension was 33.7％.Results from the logistic regression analysis showed that the OR was 2.06 (95％ CI:1.70-2.50) between family histories with or without hypertension.When the first-degree relatives were with the degrees of family history of hypertention as Ⅰ,Ⅱ or llⅢ,the OR values of hypertension appeared as 1.83 (95％C1:1.47-2.27),2.94 (95％CI:2.09-4.13) and 4.48 (95％ CI:2.17-9.27) respectively.Either father or mother having the positive family history of hypertension,the corresponding OR values appeared as 2.50 (95％ CI:1.84-3.40),1.61(95％CI:1.22-2.12) seen in mothers.However,when both father and mother having the family history of hypertention,the OR value was seen 2.82 (95％CI:1.76-4.51) in the mothers.Conclusion Family history appeared as a risk factor for hypertension.The number of first-degree relatives with positive family history showed a dose-response relationship to the occurrence of hypertension.Family history in both father or mother might further affect the incidence of hypertension.
