| Abstract
|
:
|
hypertension is among the major causes of mortality and disability worldwide. despite the development of various treatment protocols, a significant proportion of hypertensive patients cannot reach the target blood pressure. the present study followed the participants of Isfahan healthy heart program (IHHP) to evaluate the factors effective on blood pressure control. in a cross sectional study, the names of hypertensive individuals in the IHHP were extracted. the subjects were thenn invited to fill out quetionnarires including demographics, socioeconomic status, knowledge, attitude, and performance toward hypertencion, lifestyle related information (diet, physical activity, smoking, and stress management), and history of diseased. Height, weight, and blook pressure measurments were then performed. patients with blook pressure equal to or above 140/90 mmHg were considered to have uncontrolled blood pressure. data of the two groups with controlled and uncontrolled blood pressure was compared by independent-t and chi-square tests n SPSS15. althoug 300 persons were invited, only 139 patients accepted to participate. since 30 subjects did not fulfill hypertension criteria, a total number of 109 individuals were finally evaluated. measurments revealed 30 patients to have blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg. however 79 subjects were identified to have uncontrolled blood pressure. subjects with controlled and uncontrolled blood pressure were not significantly different in terms of mean age. the corresponding scores were 65.30+/-14.24 and 70.48+/-9.43 for knowledge and 76.67+/-23.61 and 82.91+/-18.14 for attitude. the mean values of waist circumference and waist to hip ratio were significantly higher in atients with uncontrolled blood pressure. in addition, subjects with uncontrolled blood pressure had significantly better knowledge about the necessity of having physical activity. not smoking, and stress management.
