Hypertension, chronic and silent disease, is a
public health problem. The objective of this survey was to assess the
prevalence of hypertension in population in the city of Koudougou. This deals
with a population survey held in one day consisting of controlling blood pressure and glycaemia among patients having values
above the normal ones. All volunteering patients were included in the study. We
screened 497 patients during the survey. The average age of patients was 36 ±
12.4 years with extreme of 18 and 75 years. The sex ratio was 1.1. The average
systolic blood pressure was 118 ± 21.5 mmHg with extreme of 90 and 200 and the
average diastolic blood pressure was 70.8 ± 11 mmHg with extreme of 50 and 100.
The frequency of patients suffering from hypertension was 21.6% and that of the
diabetic patients was 19%. The average age of patients suffering from
hypertension was 43.9 ± 14 years against 37.5 ± 12.8 years for patients
suffering from diabetes. During the previous year, 49% (n = 244) had controlled
their blood pressure against 51% of cases who controlled theirs during a consultation.
16.3% of patients had their blood sugar controlled (n = 81) against 43.4% who
had theirs controlled during a consultation. Hypertension is an under-diagnosed disease despite the available diagnostic tools such as self-measurement. Screening programs should be set up to establish early
diagnosis of high blood pressure.
