摘要
Background: Hypertension, a major global health concern, continues to affect millions of adults worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The burden of hypertension is particularly pronounced in low- and middle-income countries, where limited healthcare resources and infrastructure pose unique challenges for effective prevention and management. Despite the pressing need for accurate data on hypertension prevalence and determinants, there is a dearth of research focusing on the Somali population. In this study, we aim to fill this critical knowledge gap by analyzing the latest available data from the Somalia Demographic Health Survey (SDHS) conducted in 2020. Method: The SDHS 2020 employed a three-stage stratified cluster sampling design to collect data from 48,796 individuals. Hypertension was measured through survey questions related to chronic diseases. Explanatory variables included age, sex, region, residence, tobacco use, wealth index, marital status, and body mass index (BMI). Statistical analysis involved univariate and multivariable logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of hypertension in Somalia was found to be 2.11%, lower than previous studies in Hargeisa and the SLHDS 2020 report. Females had a higher prevalence than males, and urban areas exhibited higher rates compared to rural areas. Age, BMI, region, and wealth index were identified as significant factors associated with hypertension. Discussion: The study's findings contribute to the understanding of hypertension in the Somali population and can inform public health interventions. The study benefits from its representative sample, multivariate analysis, and comparison with earlier studies. However, limitations include the cross-sectional design, limited information on lifestyle behaviors, and lack of data on treatment and control of hypertension. Conclusion: Hypertension is a public health concern in Somalia, and targeted interventions are needed to reduce its burden. Addressing factors such as age, gender, urban residence, BMI, and wealth index can contribute to hypertension management and control strategies. Future research should consider longitudinal studies and incorporate additional factors for a comprehensive assessment of hypertension etiology and management.
