Analysis of Hypertension Status and Its Influencing Factors in Some Areas of Hubei Province, China

Objective: To know about the current situation of hypertension in some areas of Hubei Province and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: According to the principle of Stratified sampling, we conducted health examination and questionnaire survey for 1500 residents over the age of 18 at observation point of chronic noninfectious diseases at 10 sub-districts (towns) of Wuhan City, Jingzhou City, Huanggang City, Shiyan City, which used descriptive statistics and logistics to regressively analyze Current situation of hypertension and its influencing factors of residents. Results: Prevalence of hypertension of rural and urban residents over 18 is 27.44% in Hubei province. There are many differences among prevalence of hypertension of male and female, distribution of BMI of rural and urban residents and prevalence of hypertension and so on, and it has statistical significance (P-value < 0.05 averagely); logistic regressive analysis result shows that different age, gender, education level, dieting habits (high salt and high oil), family per capita monthly income, BMI have statistical significance on the prevalence of hypertension in urban and rural residents of Hubei Province. Conclusions: The prevalence of hypertension in the residents of five cities and prefectures in Hubei Province is on the trend of rising in ladder form and at a much earlier age.

Introduction
year. In order to learn about the current situation of hypertension of residents and analyze its affected factors, researchers conducted a sampling survey of health condition for 1487 residents at 10 sub-districts (towns) of Wuhan City, Jingzhou City, Huanggang City, Shiyan City. The report is as follows.

Data Sources
According to the distribution of populations, the level of social economic development, regional transport and distribution of medical resources, etc. The method of stratified cluster sampling was adopted. We chose 1487 residents over 18 at observation point of chronic noninfectious diseases at 10 sub-districts (towns) of Wuhan City, Jingzhou City, Huanggang City, Shiyan City as the subjects of research.

Method of Gauge Collection
The survey was conducted by the research workers who had been trained professionally and had more than 3 years of relevant medical knowledge background.
The questionnaire was verified one-to-one and the quality of filling in the questionnaire was strictly controlled. In this survey, 1500 questionnaires were sent out and 1487 valid questionnaires were collected, with a recovery rate of 99.13%.

Statistical Method
After all the data of physical examination and questionnaire were collected, all the options were Coded quantization. We used Stata 13.0 to conduct input and descriptive analysis, the measurement data were analyzed by t-test and the count data were analyzed by variance, and multi-factors by logistic regression, with statistical significance when P < 0.05 differently on both sides.

General Information
The basic information of all respondents is shown in

Physical Indicators and Health Condition of Respondents
The data of the main body constitution indexes of the investigated objects presented abnormal distribution.

Multivariate Analysis of Hypertension
As shown in Table 2, the incidence of hypertension was taken as the corresponding variable (1 for yes, 0 for no), age, gender, education level, dieting habits (high salt and high oil), monthly income per capital and BMI were taken as the independent variables for Logistic regression analysis.

There Was Huge Difference in the Incidence of Hypertension between Urban and Rural Residents
The results showed that the incidence of hypertension in urban and rural residents above 18 years old in Hubei Province was 27.44%, which was higher than the national norm in 2010 [9]. Among them, the incidence rate of hypertension in men (37.28% of the total number of men surveyed) was significantly higher than that in women (17.31%), which might be related to men's long-term exposure to smoking, drinking, smoked food and other bad lifestyle as well as social pressure. The incidence rate of hypertension in urban residents (40.96% of the total number of urban residents surveyed) is significantly higher than that in rural residents (15.45% of the total number of rural residents surveyed), which might be related to the exposure to high salt and fat, sour and spicy eating habits

The Incidence of Hypertension in Residents Represented Younger Trend
The survey found that the incidence of hypertension in the 18 -29 years old people reached 14.75%, and the residents' incidence of hypertension showed a significant trend of ladder rise and being younger. The incidence of hypertension in the 50 -59 years old residents accounted for nearly 30%, which indicated that the annual increase in the incidence of hypertension had sounded the alarm. health. This showed the difference between the urban and rural in their access to health knowledge and level of health awareness; also suggested that health education required innovative paths and means, as well as continuous publicity and education.
In conclusion, the prevention and treatment of hypertension must be integrated with the local regional environment, population structure, socioeconomic characteristics and culture, focusing on strengthening the intervention of high salt and fat dieting habits, smoking, drinking and other bad lifestyle, monitoring the change of BMI, practising health education for the elderly and obese people in both urban and rural areas, to reduce people's exposure to the risk factors of hypertension [21] [22].
