Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a common physical condition with high blood pressure for a prolonged period. Long risk factors like age, overweight, high dietary salt intake, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and term hypertension might lead to various cardiovascular diseases. The normal blood pressure, systolic, is 90-119 mm Hg and diastolic 60-79 mm Hg. The objective of this study is to find out the prevalence of hypertension among current cigarette smokers patients in an outpatient department of a tertiary care centre.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done on 385 outpatient department patients in a tertiary care centre from September, 2021 to February, 2022. The sample was collected by a convenience after approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 0505202105). Outpatient department patients who had past history of smoking cigarette>100 cigarettes and who is still smoking were included in the study. Data were analysed by using the Statistical Package for the Social Science software version 16.0. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data and mean and standard deviation for continuous data.

Results: Among 385 patients, 209 (54.28%) (47.64-60.92 at 95% Confidence Interval) were hypertensive patients. One hundred fifty-six (40.51%) males and 53 (13.76%) females were hypertensive.

Conclusions: The prevalence of hypertension was higher when compared to other studies done in similar settings.

Keywords: habits; hypertension; prevalence; smokers.

在一家三级医疗中心门诊部就诊的吸烟者中存在高血压：描述性横断面研究。

导言高血压是一种常见的长期高血压的身体状况。年龄、超重、高食盐摄入量、吸烟、久坐不动的生活方式和长期高血压等长期危险因素可能导致各种心血管疾病。正常血压的收缩压为 90-119 毫米汞柱，舒张压为 60-79 毫米汞柱。本研究的目的是了解在一家三级医疗中心门诊部就诊的吸烟者中高血压的患病率：方法：从 2021 年 9 月至 2022 年 2 月，对一家三级医疗中心门诊部的 385 名患者进行了描述性横断面研究。样本是在获得机构审查委员会批准（参考号：0505202105）后通过便利方式收集的。研究对象包括既往吸烟史大于 100 支且目前仍在吸烟的门诊患者。数据使用 16.0 版社会科学统计软件包进行分析。对于二元数据，计算95%置信区间的点估计值，以及频率和百分比；对于连续数据，计算平均值和标准差：在 385 名患者中，209 人（54.28%）（47.64-60.92，95% 置信区间）为高血压患者。高血压患者中，男性 156 人（40.51%），女性 53 人（13.76%）：关键词：习惯；高血压；患病率；吸烟者。
