摘要

尽管在预防和控制高血压方面取得了进展，但在许多国家，高血压的患病率仍然居高不下。本研究考察了加纳非移民和移民之间的社会心理因素与高血压之间的关系。数据来自非洲移民肥胖和糖尿病研究(RODAM)项目。研究结果表明，在移民妇女中，那些在家庭/工作中经历过压力期的妇女患高血压的几率更高。在非移民中，有抑郁症状的妇女更有可能患有高血压。此外，在非移民男性中，负面生活事件与高血压之间存在正相关。研究结果强调了心理社会因素在解决加纳人群高血压患病率中的重要性。

Psychosocial factors and hypertension prevalence among Ghanaians in Ghana and Ghanaian migrants in Europe: The RODAM study

Despite progress made to prevent and control hypertension, its prevalence has persisted in many countries. This study examined the associations between psychosocial factors and hypertension among Ghanaian non-migrants and migrants. Data were drawn from the Research on Obesity and Diabetes among African Migrants (RODAM) project. Findings show that among migrant women, those who experienced periods of stress at home/work had higher odds of hypertension. Among non-migrants, women with depression symptoms were more likely to be hypertensive. Furthermore, there was a positive association between negative life events and hypertension among non-migrant men. The findings highlight the importance of psychosocial factors in addressing hypertension prevalence in Ghanaian populations.
