Abstract

Background: Hypertension (HT) is a serious noncommunicable disease that can lead to several health problems when it is not detected or is not properly diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, particularly in individuals living in poor economic and education conditions. The hill tribe population in northern Thailand is a vulnerable population with limited information available regarding HT. Methods: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of HT and to determine the factors associated with HT among individuals from hill tribes aged 35 years and over and living in northern Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted to gather essential information from six main hill tribe groups: the Akha, Lahu, Karen, Hmong, Yao and Lisu tribes in Chiang Rai Province. A simple random method was used to select 30 hill tribe villages (5 villages for each tribe). People aged 35 years and over who lived in the selected villages were invited to participate in the study. A validated questionnaire and a 5-mL blood specimen were used as research instruments. A face-to-face interview was conducted to collect data after informed consent was obtained, and 5-mL blood specimens were drawn to determine the lipid profiles of the participants. Logistic regression was performed to determine the factors associated with HT at the significance level of α = 0.05. Results: A total of 1,287 participants were recruited into the study: 60.5% were females, 30.4% were aged 35-44 years, 65.4% were illiterate, and 83.1% were married. The overall prevalence of HT was 24.3%, and the Yao tribe had the highest prevalence at 18.5%. In the multivariable analysis, three variables were found to be associated with HT: marital status, ability to read Thai, and exercise behavior. Those who were single and divorced had a 2.55 (95% CI = 1.23-5.06) and 2.69 times greater chance (95% CI = 1.10-6.59), respectively, of developing HT than those who were married. Those who could not read Thai had a 2.13 times greater chance (95% CI = 1.50-3.01) of developing HT than those who could read, and those who did not exercise and who exercised sometimes had a 1.96 (95% CI = 1.07-3.58) and 2.24 times greater chance (95% CI = 1.21-4.13), respectively, of developing HT than those who regularly exercised. Conclusion: A health screening program for the identification of new HT among the hill tribe population urgently needs to be implemented, followed by the introduction of a proper exercise program to reduce the risk of HT, particularly for those who are illiterate and for single or divorced people.

Abstract

Background: Chiang Rai province in northern Thailand is a site of many people travelling among nearby countries and areas, including Yunnan province, China. In February 2020, there was concern about the population's vulnerability to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)., Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 villages less than 10 km from a border. A questionnaire was developed and tested for reliability and validity; 48 questions covered participant characteristics, plus knowledge about, attitudes to and preparedness for COVID-19. Chi-squared tests were used to detect any significant association between variables. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the possible association of various factors with participants' level of reported knowledge, attitudes and preparedness., Results: A total of 520 participants were recruited of whom 320 (61.5%) were women. The age range was 18-90 years; the average age was 45.2 years. Variables with an association with good to moderate preparedness for COVID-19 prevention and control that remained after adjustment were: women were better prepared than men (adjusted odds ratio (OR adj ) = 2.52; 95% CI = 1.36-4.68); those aged 18-30 years (OR adj = 4.26; 95% CI = 1.18-15.30), 31-45 years (OR adj = 4.60; 95% CI = 1.59-13.32) or 46-60 years (OR adj = 2.69; 95% CI = 1.16-6.26) were better prepared than those aged 60-90 years; and, compared with those with no formal education, those educated to primary school level (OR adj = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.09-5.43) or to university level (OR adj = 3.18; 95% CI = 1.06-9.51) were better prepared., Conclusion: Effective communication of essential, accurate and up-to-date information regarding COVID-19 prevention and control is essential in this population - especially for men, older age groups and those lacking formal education., Competing Interests: None
