Background.
Fatalities from hypertension in East Africa are increasing, even though they decreased in western industrial regions.
Older age, being female, illiterate, smoking, physical inactivity, and high waist circumferences are major risk factors for the development of hypertension.
The prevalence of hypertension among Federal Ministry Civil servants in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has found to be high; which is an indication for institution-based hypertension-screening programs.
Objective.
Prevalence of hypertension and associated factors among the outpatient department in Akaki Kality Subcity Health Centers, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Methodology.
Facility-based cross-sectional study was carried out on systematically sampled 401 out-department patients whose age was greater than or equal to 18 years in four government health centers in Addis Ababa.
Data collection took place from March 10, 2018, to April 06 2018.
Binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify predictors of hypertension.
Results.
Patients had a mean age of 41.17 years (95% CI: 39.77–42.57).
The prevalence of hypertension was 14% (95% CI: 13.653–14.347), and 30 (53.57%) were males.
Alcohol drinkers were 11.844 times more likely to be hypertensive as compared to non-alcohol drinkers (AOR = 11.844, 95% CI: 3.596–39.014).
Cigarette smokers were 16.511 times more likely to be hypertensive as compared to non-cigarette smokers (AOR = 16.511, 95% CI: 4.775–57.084).
Khat chewers were 6.964 times more likely to be hypertensive as compared to non-khat chewers (AOR = 6.964, 95% CI: 1.773–26.889).
Conclusion.
The prevalence of patients with hypertension was 14%.
Alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking, khat chewing, body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, and age ≥44 years old are major determinants identified by this study.
Hence, appropriate management of patients focusing on the relevant associated factors would be of great benefit in controlling hypertension.
