| 11 | Prevalence,awareness and control of hypertension in Malaysia from 1980-2018:A systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Hypertension is a common public health problem worldwide and is a well-known risk factor for increased risk of cardiovascular diseases,contributing to high morbidity and mortality.However,there has been no systematic review and meta-analysis of a multiethnic population such as that of Malaysia.AIM To determine the trend in prevalence,awareness and control rate of hypertension in Malaysia.METHODS Systematic searches were conducted in six databases(PubMed,Scopus,Ovid,CINAHL,Malaysian Medical Repository and Malaysia Citation Index)for articles published between 1980 and 2018.Two authors reviewed the studies and performed quality assessment and data extraction independently.Pooled estimates of hypertension prevalence,awareness and control rate were calculated using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model.Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed.RESULTS We included 56 studies involving a total of 241796 participants.The overall pooled prevalence of hypertension aged≥18 years was 29.7%.The prevalence of hypertension was the lowest in the 1980s(16.2%,95%confidence interval(CI):13.4,19.0),increasing up to 36.8%(95%CI:6.1,67.5)in the 1990s,then decreasing to 28.7%(95%CI:21.7,35.8)in the 2000s and 26.8%(95%CI:21.3,32.3)in the 2010s.The prevalence of awareness was 51.4%(95%CI:46.6,56.3),while 33.3%(95%CI:28.4,38.2)of those on treatment had achieved control of their blood pressure.CONCLUSION In Malaysia,three in ten adults aged≥18 years have hypertension,while four in ten adults aged≥30 years have hypertension.Five out of ten people are aware of their hypertension status and only one-third of those under treatment achieved control of their hypertension.Concerted efforts by policymakers and healthcare professionals to improve awareness and control of hypertension should be of high priority. | Man Jun Soo Zhen Yee Chow Siew Mooi Ching Chun Han Tan Kai Wei Lee Navin Kumar Devaraj Hani Syahida Salim Vasudevan Ramachandran Poh Ying Lim Dhashani Sivaratnam Fan Kee Hoo Ai Theng Cheong Yook Chin Chia | 2020 | World Journal of Meta-Analysis2020，8，4： | 0 |
