Uncontrolled blood pressure is a threat to diabetic patients’ life. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of hypertension among diabetic patients at different stages from Yaoundé Central Hospital and Etoug-Ebe Baptist Health Center of Cameroon. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted for 6 months, and 109 participants (types 1 and 2), aged 24–81 years, were enrolled using simple random sampling. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data, habitual behaviors, clinical history blood pressure, and anthropometric measures. The prevalence of hypertension was 86.2%. Of the total, 13.8% participants were normotensive, 32.1% stage 1 hypertensive, and 54.1% stage 2 hypertensive. Being a male () and not smoking () were negatively associated with stage 1 hypertension whereas eating less than 3 times () and duration of diabetes greater than 9 years among women () were positively associated. Age above 40 years () was negatively associated with stage 2 hypertension. However, age above 40 years had a negative effect among Christian, less educated diabetics, people having diabetes for more than 9 years, and those on medical treatment (). Duration of diabetes (age-adjusted ; ) and abnormal waist circumference (crude ; ) were positively associated with stage 2. Abnormal waist-to-hip ratio (crude ; ) and feeding rate greater than 2 times a day (WHR-adjusted ; ) were positively associated with hypertension (stages 1 and 2). This study suggests that hypertension, present at its two stages, is a serious health issue among diabetic patients. Thus, appropriate intervention should be put in place to prevent and control hypertension by managing identified risk factors.

来自喀麦隆雅温得中心医院和伊图格-伊贝浸信会医疗中心的糖尿病患者中高血压的危险因素。

血压不受控制会威胁糖尿病患者的生命。这项研究的目的是确定喀麦隆雅温得中心医院和埃托格-埃贝浸信会保健中心不同阶段糖尿病患者的高血压危险因素。进行了一项基于医院的横断面研究，为期6个月，使用简单的随机抽样方法招募了109名年龄在24-81岁之间的参与者（1型和2型）。使用预先测试的结构化问卷收集社会人口统计学数据，习惯行为，临床病史血压和人体测量学数据。高血压的患病率为86.2％。在总数中，13.8％的参与者为血压正常，32.1％的1期高血压和54.1％的2期高血压。作为男性（）而不吸烟（）与1期高血压呈负相关，而进食时间少于3倍（），女性的糖尿病病程超过9年（）呈正相关。年龄40岁以上（）与2期高血压呈负相关。但是，年龄超过40岁对基督徒，受过良好教育的糖尿病患者，患有9年以上糖尿病的人以及接受过医疗治疗的人具有负面影响（）。糖尿病持续时间（年龄调整）; ）和异常的腰围（粗暴; ）与第2阶段呈正相关。异常的腰臀比率（粗暴; ），且每日喂食速度大于2次（WHR调整后）; ）与高血压正相关（第1和第2阶段）。这项研究表明，处于两个阶段的高血压是糖尿病患者中严重的健康问题。因此，应采取适当的干预措施，通过管理已识别的危险因素来预防和控制高血压。
