Correlates of Measured Prehypertension and Hypertension in Latina Women Living Along the US–Mexico Border, 2007–2009
INTRODUCTION: Although Latinos have lower hypertension rates than non-Latino whites and African Americans, they have a higher prevalence of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension. Research on predictors of hypertension has mostly focused on intrapersonal factors with no studies assessing the comb...

description | INTRODUCTION: Although Latinos have lower hypertension rates than non-Latino whites and African Americans, they have a higher prevalence of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension. Research on predictors of hypertension has mostly focused on intrapersonal factors with no studies assessing the combined influence of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to assess a broad range of correlates including intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental factors on measured blood pressure category (nonhypertensive, prehypertensive, and hypertensive) in a sample of Latina women residing in San Diego, California. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used baseline data from the San Diego Prevention Research Center’s Familias Sanas y Activas program, a promotora-led physical activity intervention. The sample was 331 Latinas who self-selected into this program. Backward conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the strongest correlates of measured blood pressure category. RESULTS: Logistic regression analysis suggested that the strongest correlates of prehypertension were soda consumption (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34, [1.00–1.80], P ≤ .05) and age (OR = 1.03, [1.00–1.05], P ≤ .05). The strongest correlates of hypertension were soda consumption (OR = 1.92, [1.20–3.07], P ≤ .01), age (OR = 1.09, [1.05–1.13], P ≤ .001), and measured body mass index (OR = 1.13, [1.05–1.22], P ≤ .001). All analyses controlled for age and education. No interpersonal or environmental correlates were significantly associated with blood pressure category. CONCLUSION: Future research should aim to further understand the role of soda consumption on risk for hypertension in this population. Furthermore, interventions aimed at preventing hypertension may want to focus on intrapersonal level factors. |
