ObjectiveTo determine the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of hypertension in residents in Songjiang District of Shanghai， and provide evidence for prevention and control of hypertension.MethodsLocal residents aged between 20 and 74 years were recruited from four towns in Songjiang District from 2016 to 2017 by using a multistage sampling strategy. Questionnaire surveys were conducted， and then physical examination， blood pressure measurement， glucose test and lipid test were performed. The data was analyzed by SPSS 16.0 software. Chi-square test was used to compare the differences in the prevalence of hypertension in residents， stratified by demographics and health conditions. Risk factors were determined by multivariate logistic regression.ResultsAmong 35 759 residents with a median age of 58 years and the proportion of male being 40.67%， crude prevalence of hypertension was 54.24% （19 395/35 759） and standardized prevalence was 31.69%. In the hypertensive patients， proportion of hypertension awareness was 61.09%， with 63.67% in male and 59.10% in female. Proportion of receiving treatment was 49.00%， with 50.91% in male and 47.51% in female. Furthermore， in the hypertensive patients with treatment， proportion of effectively controlling hypertension was 40.50%， with 44.46% in male and 37.21% in female. Multivariate logistic regression showed that male （OR=1.272）， senior age （40‒59 years old： OR=4.353， 60‒74 years old： OR=9.802）， overweight （OR=1.823）， obesity （OR=3.070）， central obesity （OR=1.380）， diabetes （OR=1.923）， dyslipidemia （OR=1.452）， and drinking （OR=1.338） were risk factors associated with hypertension.ConclusionPrevalence of hypertension is high， while the proportions of receiving treatment and effective control remain low in residents in Songjiang District. It warrants strengthening prevention and control of hypertension in targeted and young residents.
