Abstract
Objective: To research the self-blood pressure measurement condition and recognize affecting elements among adults in Shaanxi Province. Methods: From July to November 2018, 6202 adult residents in Shaanxi Province were selected by multistage stratified cluster random sampling method, and investigations of residents included body measurements as well as questionnaires. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the blood pressure measurement and identify correlation factors of adult residents in Shaanxi Province. All rates were weighted. Result: The blood pressure measurement rate of adult residents in Shaanxi Province was 62.12%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that men (OR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.44~0.81) and rural residents (OR= 0.72, 95%CI: 0.55~0.95) were less likely to have blood pressure measurements. Residents with older age (35~49 years old: OR = 1.48, 95%CI: 1.06~2.06; 50~64 years old: OR=2.01, 95%CI: 1.46~2.76; 65 years old and above: OR=3.09, 95%CI: 2.17~4.40), drinking (OR=1.94, 95%CI: 1.37~2.73), People with a previous diagnosis of hypertension (OR=14.24, 95%CI: 9.04~22.43) and people with a previous diagnosis of dyslipidemia (OR=2.83, 95%CI: 1.71~4.71) were more likely to measure blood pressure. Conclusion: Residents ≥18 years old in Shaanxi province pay insufficient attention to their own blood pressure and the frequency of blood pressure measurement behavior needs to be improved. Therefore, diversified hypertension prevention and control education should be carried out for the whole population to promote regular blood pressure measurement in key populations.
