Resumo: Aims: hypertension (HTN) is rapidly emerging as a public health problem among elderly in developing countries. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors among the elderly in Pokhara Metropolitan, Nepal.Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study was carried out to assess hypertension among 323 community dwelling elderly in Pokhara Metropolitan from October 2019 to March 2020. Quota sampling was used to collect the samples. Elderly those who were attending hospitals or with any serious medical conditions were excluded from the study. Face to face interview was done for data collection and anthropometric measurements, and semi structured standard STEPS questionnaires were used as data collection tools. Data were entered in Epi DATA [Version 3.1] and analyzed using SPSS [Version 20] as per data analysis plan. Bivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted and statistical significance was declared at a p-value ≤ 0.05.Results: prevalence of hypertension was reported among 34.4 percent (Male: 39.3%, Female 29%) elderly in Pokhara Metropolitan. The higher proportion of hypertensive cases were in age group 60-69 years (36%). The prevalence of hypertension was significantly associated with ethnicity (OR= 1.74, CI: 1.07-2.83), current alcohol intake (OR= 2.56, CI: 1.30-5.05) and mental stress (OR= 2.25, CI: 1.19-4.28).Conclusion: more than one third of the elderly had hypertension. Ethnicity, current alcohol intake and mental stress are found to be factors associated with hypertension. Periodic screening for early detection of hypertension and implementing health promotion interventions to encourage behavior change among elderly may promote healthy ageing.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la prevalencia de hipertensión y sus factores asociados entre los ancianos en Pokhara Metropolitan, Nepal.Métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio analítico transversal para evaluar la hipertensión entre 323 comunidad de ancianos en Pokhara Metropolitan desde octubre de 2019 a marzo de 2020. Se utilizó un muestreo por cuotas para recolectar las muestras. Los ancianos que asistían a hospitales o con alguna condición médica grave fueron excluidos del estudio. Se realizó una entrevista cara a cara para la recopilación de datos y mediciones antropométricas, y se utilizaron cuestionarios STEPS estándarsemiestructurados como herramientas de recopilación de datos. Los datos se ingresaron en Epi DATA [Versión 3.1] y se analizaron utilizando SPSS [Versión 20] según el plan de análisis de datos. Se realizaron análisis de regresión logística bivariados y se declaró significancia estadística a un valor de p ≤ 0.05.Resultados: la prevalencia de hipertensión se informó entre el 34,4 por ciento (hombres: 39,3%, mujeres 29%) ancianos en Pokhara Metropolitan. La mayor proporción de casos de hipertensión se registró en el grupo de edad de 60 a 69 años (36%). La prevalencia de hipertensión se asoció significativamente con la etnia (OR = 1,74, IC: 1,07-2,83), la ingesta actual de alcohol (OR = 2,56, IC: 1,30-5,05) y el estrés mental (OR = 2,25, IC: 1,19-4,28).Conclusión: más de un tercio de los ancianos tenían hipertensión. Se ha descubierto que la etnia, la ingesta actual de alcohol y el estrés mental son factores asociados con la hipertensión. El cribado periódico para la detección temprana de la hipertensión y la implementación de intervenciones de promoción de la salud para fomentar el cambio de comportamiento entre los ancianos pueden promover un envejecimiento saludable.Objetivos: a hipertensão (HA) está emergindo rapidamente como um problema de saúde pública entre os idosos nos países em desenvolvimento. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de hipertensão e seus fatores associados em idosos de Pokhara Metropolitan, Nepal.Métodos: foi realizado um estudo transversal analítico para avaliar a hipertensão em 323 idosos residentes na comunidade em Pokhara Metropolitan de outubro de 2019 a março de 2020. A amostragem por cota foi utilizada para a coleta das amostras. Idosos que frequentavam hospitais ou com qualquer condição médica grave foram excluídos do estudo. Entrevista face a face foi realizada para coleta de dados e medidas antropométricas, e questionários padrão semiestruturados STEPS foram usados como ferramentas de coleta de dados. Os dados foram inseridos no Epi DATA [Versão 3.1] e analisados usando SPSS [Versão 20] de acordo com o plano de análise de dados. A análise de regressão logística bivariada foi conduzida e a significância estatística foi declarada para um valor de p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: a prevalência de hipertensão foi relatada entre 34,4% idosos em Pokhara Metropolitan (Masculino: 39,3%, Feminino 29%). A maior proporção de hipertensos estava na faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos (36%). A prevalência de hipertensão foi significativamente associada com etnia (OR = 1,74, IC: 1,07-2,83), consumo atual de álcool (OR = 2,56, IC: 1,30-5,05) e estresse mental (OR = 2,25, IC: 1,19-4,28).Conclusão: mais de um terço dos idosos eram hipertensos. Etnia, consumo atual de álcool e estresse mental são fatores associados à hipertensão. A triagem periódica para detecção precoce da hipertensão e a implementação de intervenções de promoção da saúde para estimular a mudança de comportamento entre os idosos podem promover o envelhecimento saudável.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2021-08-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/article/view/3975610.15448/2357-9641.2021.1.39756PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Research; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2021): Single Volume - Continuous Publication; e39756PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2021): Número Único - Publicação Contínua; e39756PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research; v. 9 n. 1 (2021): Número Único - Publicação Contínua; e397562357-964110.15448/2357-9641.2021.1reponame:PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Researchinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUCRSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/article/view/39756/26988Copyright (c) 2021 PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Researchhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMishra, RimaPaneru, Damaru Prasad2021-08-16T20:28:14Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/39756Revistahttp://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/about/editorialTeamPRIhttp://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/oaicataldo@pucrs.br||pajar@pucrs.br2357-96412357-9641opendoar:2021-08-16T20:28:14PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Research - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
