Background. We investigated the association between blood pressure control and common cardiometabolic risk factors from a global and regional perspective. Methods. In the present analysis of a large cross-sectional i-SEARCH study, 17.092 outpatients receiving antihypertensive treatment were included in 26 countries. According to clinical guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension, patients were classified based on the level of seated systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP). Uncontrolled hypertension was defined as SBP/DBP ≥140 /90mmHg for non-diabetics, and ≥130/80mmHg for diabetics. Results. Overall, mean age was 63.1 years, 52.8% were male, and mean BMI was 28.9kg/m 2. Mean SBP/DBP was 148.9/87.0mmHg, and 76.3% of patients had uncontrolled hypertension. Diabetes was present in 29.1% with mean HbA1c of 6.8%. Mean LDL-cholesterol was 3.2mmol/L, HDL-cholesterol 1.3mmol/L, and triglycerides 1.8mmol/L; 49.0% had hyperlipidemia. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension had a higher BMI (29.4 versus 28.6kg/m 2), LDL-cholesterol (3.4 versus 3.0mmol/L), triglycerides (1.9 versus 1.7mmol/L), and HbA1c (6.8 versus 6.7%) than those with controlled blood pressure (P 0.0001 for all parameters). Conclusions. Among outpatients treated for arterial hypertension, three quarters had uncontrolled blood pressure. Elevated SBP/DBP and uncontrolled hypertension were associated with increasing BMI, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and HbA1c, both globally and regionally. © 2012 Martin Thoenes et al.

Abstract

Background. We investigated the association between blood pressure control and common cardiometabolic risk factors from a global and regional perspective. Methods. In the present analysis of a large cross-sectional i-SEARCH study, 17.092 outpatients receiving antihypertensive treatment were included in 26 countries. According to clinical guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension, patients were classified based on the level of seated systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP). Uncontrolled hypertension was defined as SBP/DBP ≥140 /90mmHg for non-diabetics, and ≥130/80mmHg for diabetics. Results. Overall, mean age was 63.1 years, 52.8% were male, and mean BMI was 28.9kg/m 2. Mean SBP/DBP was 148.9/87.0mmHg, and 76.3% of patients had uncontrolled hypertension. Diabetes was present in 29.1% with mean HbA1c of 6.8%. Mean LDL-cholesterol was 3.2mmol/L, HDL-cholesterol 1.3mmol/L, and triglycerides 1.8mmol/L; 49.0% had hyperlipidemia. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension had a higher BMI (29.4 versus 28.6kg/m 2), LDL-cholesterol (3.4 versus 3.0mmol/L), triglycerides (1.9 versus 1.7mmol/L), and HbA1c (6.8 versus 6.7%) than those with controlled blood pressure (P 0.0001 for all parameters). Conclusions. Among outpatients treated for arterial hypertension, three quarters had uncontrolled blood pressure. Elevated SBP/DBP and uncontrolled hypertension were associated with increasing BMI, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and HbA1c, both globally and regionally. © 2012 Martin Thoenes et al.
