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.
