Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Suburban Community in Nigeria

Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Suburban Community in Nigeria

The burden of hypertension, a silent killer, continues to increase in low- and middle-income countries. This study evaluated blood pressure (BP) in healthy adults to determine their risk of developing hypertension and to reduce associatedmorbidity of the disease. Overall, 182 subjects aged >16 years participated in the study. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was measured...
