Abstract
Background
We assessed the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients attending Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State Nigeria.
Methods and materials
A hospital-based retrospective study was conducted among 143 type-2 DM patients in LAUTECH Teaching Hospital. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥140 and or diastolic BP ≥90. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression.
Results
The mean age of the respondents was 56.2 ±15.79 years. Hypertension was common (32.1%) among type-2 DM participants. Respondents aged 45-64 years (OR= 5.96, 95%CI= 1.60 - 19.12) had the likelihood of being hypertensive. Type-2 DM patients who were not in union (AOR=6.64, 95%CI=1.79 - 24.52) were more likely to be hypertensive. The likelihood of hypertension was lower (AOR= 0.28, 95%CI=0.11 - 0.66) among participants who engaged in moderate physical activity compared to those who engaged in low physical activity.
Conclusion
This study identified the age group 45-64 years, not being in a union and engagement in low physical activity as associated factors for hypertension among Diabetes Mellitus participants. Hypertension prevention/treatment should be considered in type-2 Diabetes Mellitus routine treatment.
