High Normal Blood Pressure among Young Supervisors in Siracha District, Chon Buri Province
Keywords:
High normal blood pressure, Young adult, Construction supervisor, Risk factorsAbstract
High normal blood pressure can develop to hypertension and cardiovascular disease if there is inappropriate risk protection, especially for individuals less than 35 years old who had the opportunity to develop left ventricular hypertrophy. The aims of this study were to measure the prevalence of high blood pressure and to investigate the factors associated with high normal blood pressure among young construction supervisors at a construction project in the Si Racha district.
In this cross-sectional study, the subjects consisted of 117 young constructions supervisor calculated by Daniel’s formula 2010. A questionnaire was used to collect data and blood pressure was measured by an automated device based on the 2020 International Society of Hypertension criteria. Data was then analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-Square tests (c2 test) or Fisher’s Exact test, and Binary logistic regression.
The prevalence of high normal blood pressure was 49.6 percent. The binary logistic regression analysis showed alcohol drinking (OR = 7.69, 95% CI: 2.1-28.1), smoking (OR = 6.46, 95% CI: 1.8-22.9), noise annoyance (OR = 11.83, 95% CI: 3.5-40.5), and job strain (OR = 4.5, 95% CI: 1.3-14.8) were significant with high normal blood pressure at P-value < 0.05.
This study showed the prevalence of high normal blood pressure in young construction supervisors. The behavioral risk factors including alcohol drinking, smoking and environmental
