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.

RODAM研究：加纳的加纳人和欧洲的加纳移民中的社会心理因素和高血压患病率

尽管在预防和控制高血压方面取得了进展，但在许多国家中其流行率仍然存在。这项研究调查了加纳非移民和移民中心理社会因素与高血压之间的关联。数据来自非洲移民中的肥胖症和糖尿病研究（RODAM）项目。研究结果表明，在移徙妇女中，在家中/工作期间经历过压力的妇女患高血压的几率更高。在非移民中，患有抑郁症症状的女性更可能患有高血压。此外，非移民男性的负性生活事件与高血压之间存在正相关。这些发现突出了社会心理因素在应对加纳人群高血压患病率方面的重要性。
