Pattern of blood pressure in African diabetics: report from Sudan

Journal of Human Hypertension
Ahmed M el-B, E M Elmahadi

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypertension in diabetic patients in an urban Sudanese population compared with a non-diabetic group. It was found that there was a higher prevalence of diastolic hypertension (44%) in the non-insulin-dependent (NIDM) patients. The blood pressures did not correlate with age, duration of diabetes or nephropathy (9% of cases), but obesity which was detected in 34% of the NIDD group may possibly explain the high prevalence of hypertension.
