Background.
This study had the objective to assess the prevalence and associated factors of hypertension in an urban setting, Kabul city, Afghanistan.
Materials and Methods.
The World Health Organization’s STEP-wise approach was adopted and used in Kabul in November 2015.
The study analyzed a sample of 1172 adults in the age group of 25–70 years.
Demographic, socioeconomic, and behavior data were collected using a structured questionnaire.
Fasting venous blood sample was collected to assess the lipid profile and fasting blood sugar.
Results.
The study showed that the prevalence of hypertension among adult Kabul citizens was 32.3%.
From this figure, 599 (51.1%) were females and 573 (48.9%) males with a mean age of 38.6±12.2 years.
Illiteracy rate was 49.6% and 77.5% were married.
Smoking in adults were 8.1% and mouth snuff users were 9.8%.
More than half (57.6%) of the study respondents were overweight and obese and 9.1% were recorded having raised blood sugar.
In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, age, general obesity, central obesity, smoking, moderate physical activity, and taking fruits 3 days or less weekly were statistically significant predictors of hypertension.
Conclusions.
Burden of hypertension is increasing in main urban settings in Afghanistan.
Integrated intervention focusing in main modifiable risk factors is needed to detect and prevent hypertension.
