Blood pressure patterns and body mass index status in pregnancy: An assessment among women reporting for antenatal care at the Korle-Bu Teaching hospital, Ghana

Background: Few studies have examined whether hypertension in pregnancy imposes long-term cardiovascular risk compared to a normal pregnancy. The objective of this study was to examine if previous history of hypertension in pregnancy is a risk for hypertension after pregnancy. Methods: A case-control analysis was performed using the Bogalusa Heart Study database. Cases were defined as women whose systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic ≥ 90 mmHg, or having hypertension treatment. Controls were defined as women with normal blood pressure. After exclusions, 604 women (67% white and 33% black, aged 32-44 years) were included for analysis. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The prevalence of hypertension in women was 12.1% (73/604). Hypertensive women had higher proportion of previous history of hypertension in pregnancy (25/73, 34%) than normotensive controls (83/531, 13.7%), with an OR of 2.81 (95% CI: 1.64-4.81). After adjustment for age, race, body mass index and smoking, adjusted OR (aOR) of having previous history of hypertension in pregnancy for developing hypertension later was 1.36 (1.00-3.75). In addition, age, black ethnicity and body mass index were associated with hypertension, with aORs of 1.16 (1.09-1.25), 3.73 (2.13-6.52), and 1.09 (1.05-1.13), respectively. Conclusions: Hypertension in pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of hypertension in later life. Further studies are needed to separate the effect of pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre-exiting chronic hypertension on the subsequent risk of hypertension later in life.

Background: This study aimed at establishing the prevalence and factors associated with hyperglycemia in pregnancy among women attending treatment at antenatal care at the Directorate of obstetrics and gynaecology at Kawempe under the following objectives; to determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia in pregnancy, to establish the factors associated with hyperglycemia in pregnancy. Methods: The study was cross-sectional and experimental in design that recruited 333 participants from age 18 years and above. The consented participants filled a questionnaire that was taking history and demographics. A blood sample was taken for blood glucose testing and a urine sample was also collected. Data was entered in Epidata 3.1 and exported to SPSS 17.0 for analysis. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis was used to determine prevalence and factors associated with hyperglycemia in pregnancy Results: Laboratory tests revealed that the prevalence of hyperglycemia was 25.3% (84). The following factors were significantly associated with hyperglycemia in pregnancy; age37 years and above (p-value 0.013* OR 2.34), and high Body Mass Index (BMI) (p-value 0.002* OR 3.744).

Hipertensiadalah penyebab kematian utama di Indonesia. Kematian akibat hipertensi lebih banyak terjadi di perkotaan dibandingkan di desa. Tingginya kejadian hipertensi dipengaruhi oleh faktor yang dapat dikontrol (obesitas,berat badan lebih, konsumsi garam berlebih,aktivitas fisik rendah, perokok, dan konsumsi alkohol) dan faktor yang tidak dapat dikontrol (genetik, usia, dan jenis kelamin). Penelitian bertujuan memberikan gambarandistribusi tekanan darah dan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) pendudukperempuan di kota maupun di desa.Desain penelitian adalah deskriptif kuatitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Data primer didapatkan melalui pengukuran tekanan darah, tinggi badan dan berat badan. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Kutowinangun Kidul, Kecamatan Tingkir,Salatiga yang mewakili penduduk perempuan di perkotaan dan Desa Batur, Kecamatan Getasan, Kabupaten Semarangyang mewakili penduduk perempuan pedesaan. Adapun jumlah sampel masing-masing 66 respondendan 72responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kejadian penyakit hipertensi, resiko obese dan obese lebih didominasi oleh respondendi perkotaan dibandingkan di pedesaan dengan rentang usia di atas 46 tahun. Respondendi desa dengan indeks massa tubuh normal cenderung mengalami pre-hipertensi (8,3%) dan hipertensi stadium I (6,9%) sementararesponden dengan resiko obese dan obese cenderung mengalami hipertensi stadium I (1,4%).Respondendi kota dengan indeks massa tubuh normal cenderung mengalami pre hipertensi (6,06%), hipertensi stadium I (4,5%) dan II (7,5%). Responden dengan resiko obese cenderung mengalami hipertensi stadium I (4,5%), dan responden dengan obese I dan II cenderung mengalami pre-hipertensi (4,5%). Hypertension is the leading cause of death in Indonesia. Deaths due to hypertension are more common in urban areas than in villages. The high incidence of hypertension is influenced by factors that can be controlled (obesity, overweight, excessive salt consumption, low physical activity, smokers, and alcohol consumption) and factors that cannot be controlled (genetic, age, and sex). The study aimed to provide an overview of blood pressure distribution and body mass index (BMI) of female residents in cities and villages. The study design was descriptive quantitative with a cross sectional approach. Primary data was obtained through measurements of blood pressure, height and weight. The study was conducted in Kutowinangun Kidul Village, Tingkir Subdistrict, Salatiga representing women in urban areas and Batur Village, Getasan Subdistrict, Semarang Regency, representing rural women. The number of samples was 66 respondents and 72 respondents respectively. The results showed that the incidence of hypertension, the risk of obese and obese was more dominated by respondents in urban areas than in rural areas with ages above 46 years. Respondents in villages with normal body mass index tended to experience pre-hypertension (8.3%) and stage I hypertension (6.9%) while respondents with obese and obese risk tended to experience stage I hypertension (1.4%). Respondents in cities with normal body mass index tended to experience pre-hypertension (6.06%), stage I hypertension (4.5%) and II (7.5%). Respondents with obese risk tended to experience stage I hypertension (4.5%), and respondents with obese I and II tended to experience pre-hypertension (4.5%).
