Background.
Our study aims to estimate hypertension (HTN) prevalence and its predictors in rural and urban area.
Methods.
We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study involving subjects aged 15 to 65 years.
Collected data (sociodemographic, blood pressure, weight, height, and blood glucose) were analyzed using SPSS version 20.
A logistic regression was conducted to look for factors associated with HTN.
Results.
Mean was 47 years.
High blood pressure (HBP) prevalence was 21.1 and 24.7%, respectively, in rural and urban setting.
In rural area age group significantly predicted hypertension with age of 60 years having more-than-4-times risk of hypertension, whereas, in urban area age group, sex and body mass index were predictors with OR: HTN raising from 2.06 [1.24–3.43] for 30–44 years old to 7.25 [4.00–13.13] for 60 years and more using <30 years as reference.
Female sex was protective with OR of 0.45 [0.29–0.71] and using normal weight as reference OR for overweight was 1.54 [1.04–2.27] and 2.67 [1.64–4.36] for obesity.
Conclusion.
Hypertension prevalence is high and associated factors were age group in rural area and age group, female sex, and body mass index in urban area.
