Individuals with diabetes were twice as likely to have hypertension, 7.0 times more likely to be aware, 3.3 times more likely to be on antihypertensive medication, and 2.4 times more likely to be controlled on medication. Women and individuals reporting lower salt use were more likely to be aware and treated for hypertension. Applying the 2017 AHA/ACC hypertension guidelines showed only 1 in 4 adults had normal BP. As with HIV, similarly intensive efforts are now needed in the region to improve non-communicable disease diagnosis and management.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:59:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19051 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:55:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23077 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:30:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41975 Tue 16 Aug 2022 15:48:47 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54582 Tue 14 May 2024 15:30:17 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29336 25 kg m ^-2, OR: 2.10-2.11, P<0.01), family history of hypertension (OR: 2.69-2.76, P<0.01), diabetes history (OR: 2.29-2.33, P<0.01), hyperlipidemia history (OR: 1.79-1.80, P<0.01), male (OR: 1.56-1.59, P<0.01) and coffee intake (OR: 1.44-1.46, P<0.05). In contrast, drinking green tea at least 150 ml per week was associated with lower hypertension risk (OR: 0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.43-0.91, P<0.05). Drinking combination of green tea and British tea was associated with higher reduction in the risk of hypertension (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39-0.85, P<0.05). This cross-sectional study suggests that consumption of tea, especially green tea and British tea, was associated with lowering the risk of hypertension. On the other hand, consumption of coffee could be a risk factor of hypertension. These findings may provide useful information for health promotion to reduce risk of hypertension and warrant further study to confirm and elucidate such association.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:13 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27756 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:44 AEDT ]]>
