Abstract

Background: The prevalence of noncommunicable diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc., has been on the increase globally. The study assessed the prevalence and association between obesity, hypertension, and diabetes among patients visiting the dietetics outpatient clinic of Babcock University Teaching Hospital. Methodology: The prevalence and association between obesity, hypertension, and diabetes were assessed in this retrospective study. The study was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Dietetics Department, Babcock University Teaching Hospital Ilisan-Remo Ogun State. Age, gender, height, weight, and diagnosed diseases were extracted from the record of individuals who presented at the clinic for 75 months. Data obtained were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Result: A total of 1059 patient's record was used in the study. The prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes were 58.9%, 37.4%, and 18.9%, respectively. Obesity and diabetes were prevalent among females than males (m = 20.4%, f = 38.5%), (m = 8.8%, f = 10.1%), while hypertension was prevalent among males (m = 19%, f = 18.4%). Diabetes was prevalent among older adults, while obesity and hypertension were prevalent among adolescents and young adults (23.9%). Obesity was significantly associated with hypertension (P < 0.05), and diabetes (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes in this study was high. Obesity and hypertension were prevalent among adolescents and young adults.
尼日利亚西南部某三级卫生机构门诊患者肥胖症、高血压和糖尿病患病率
背景:全球范围内,肥胖症、高血压、糖尿病等非传染性疾病的患病率呈上升趋势。本研究评估了在巴布科克大学教学医院营养门诊就诊的患者中肥胖、高血压和糖尿病的患病率及其相关性。方法:本回顾性研究评估了肥胖、高血压和糖尿病的患病率及其相关性。这项研究是在巴布科克大学教学医院伊利桑-雷莫奥贡州营养科门诊进行的。年龄、性别、身高、体重和诊断疾病从在诊所就诊75个月的个人记录中提取。获得的数据使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第20版进行分析。结果:本研究共使用1059例患者病历。肥胖、高血压和糖尿病患病率分别为58.9%、37.4%和18.9%。女性肥胖和糖尿病患病率高于男性(m = 20.4%, f = 38.5%) (m = 8.8%, f = 10.1%),男性高血压患病率高于女性(m = 19%, f = 18.4%)。糖尿病在老年人中普遍存在,而肥胖和高血压在青少年和年轻人中普遍存在(23.9%)。肥胖与高血压(P < 0.05)、糖尿病(P < 0.05)有显著相关性。结论:本研究中肥胖、高血压和糖尿病的患病率较高。肥胖和高血压在青少年和年轻人中普遍存在。
