Abstract
Undiagnosed arterial hypertension is frequent. Whether it is associated with gender and the absence of cardiovascular-disease warning signs is unknown. Knowledge of the features of undiagnosed-hypertension subjects may help their identification in primary care. To examine whether gender, alcohol consumption, smoking status, health status, cardiovascular diseases/diabetes, familial hypertension history, anti-cholesterol treatment, GP-consultation frequency, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and metabolic measurements were associated with having undiagnosed hypertension among hypertensive subjects. This population-based study included 281 hypertensive adults (aged 50-76 years): 222 subjects with diagnosed and treated-hypertension and 59 undiagnosed-hypertension subjects (no hypertension history, office and 24-h ambulatory blood pressures ≥140/90 and ≥130/80 mmHg, respectively). Subjects' characteristics, clinical and biological measurements, health problems and blood pressures were collected. Data were analyzed using adjusted odds ratios (OR) computed with multivariable logistic regression models. Undiagnosed-hypertension represented 21% of hypertensive subjects. Multivariable logistic regression modeling showed that fiv...Continue Reading
