Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of hypertension among Type-2 diabetes patients in Lagos, revealing that 78.6% of participants had comorbid hypertension, with older age and obesity linked to higher rates.
- - Despite high awareness and treatment rates for hypertension (96.3% and 100% respectively), only 17.1% achieved target blood pressure control (<130/80 mmHg).
- - Key factors contributing to poor blood pressure control included increased waist circumference and poor glycemic control, suggesting that focused strategies on weight loss and diabetes management could improve outcomes.
Background: Sex disparities in blood pressure and anthropometry may account for differences in cardiovascular (CV) risk burden with advancing age; modulated by ethnic variability. We explored trajectories of blood pressures (BPs) and anthropometric indices with age on the basis of sex in an urban Nigerian population.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis on data from 5135 participants (aged 16-92 years; 2671(52%) females) from our population-based cross-sectional study of BP profiles.
Adverse cardiovascular outcomes are linked to higher burden of obesity and hypertension. We conducted a secondary analysis of data for 5135 participants aged ≥ 16 years from our community-based hypertension prevalence study to determine the prevalence of obesity and association between multiple anthropometric indices and blood pressure (BP). The indices were waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), a body shape index(ABSI), abdominal volume index (AVI), body adiposity index (BAI), body roundness index (BRI), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and conicity index (CI).

This research assessed the knowledge of, attitude towards, prevalence of and risk factors for hypercholesterolaemia in an urban local government area of Lagos State.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted among 229 adult residents who were selected through a multistage sampling method.
Background Of The Study: Low adherence is an essential element responsible for impaired effectiveness and efficiency in the pharmacological treatment of hypertension. Patient satisfaction is an important measure of healthcare quality and is a crucial determinant of patients' perspective on behavioural intention.
Aims: This study determined the association between medication adherence and treatment satisfaction among hypertensive patients attending hypertension outpatient clinic in Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Nigeria.
Background: Hypertension is the major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and prevalence rates are critical to understanding the burden and envisaging health service requirements and resource allocation. We aimed to provide an update of the current prevalence of hypertension and blood pressure profiles of adults in urban Nigeria.
Methods: Cross sectional population-based survey in Lagos, Nigeria.
Introduction: Identifying the demographic characteristics and causes of death in persons 'brought-in-dead' (BID) will inform possible strategies for the prevention of their occurrence.
Objective: To characterise the demography as well as document the autopsy-determined underlying and immediate causes of death in BID cases presenting to the emergency department (ED) of a tertiary health facility.
Methods: This is a 5-year retrospective descriptive study of 253 autopsied-BID cases.
Background: In developed countries 50% - 75% of deaths from cardiovascular-diseases occurs out-of-hospital. In Nigeria where patronage of orthodox health facilities is low, the impact of cardiovascular-related diseases on out-of-hospital mortality has been sparsely studied.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and pattern of cardiovascular-related causes of out-of-hospital deaths in Lagos, Nigeria.
