Background

  • Hypertension is a major non- communicable disease.
  • It causes high morbidity and mortality (9.4 million deaths each year worldwide ).
  • Negative impact on quality of life and economy.
  • Mankind has probably never experienced such a devastating epidemic (Poulter, et al., 2015)

Rationale

  • To identify New cases of Hypertensive patients.
  • Currant information on hypertension and its risk factors is few and available as estimates of WHO.
  • Provide basic data to assess the intervention programs.
  • Hypertension survey will give precise data and allow better planning and usage of resources.

The Survey

  • International society of hypertension (ISH) proposed conducting a global cross-sectional blood pressure measurement of adults aged ≥ 18.
  • To measure Blood pressure of 25 million Worldwide.
  • 100 countries are participating in MMM.
  • Sitting blood pressure will be measured in triplicate ?? according to standardized specified methods.

The Main Objective

  • To measure the blood pressure of Adult population + 18 years old in the selected sample.

Specific Objectives

1.To give advice about Diet and Lifestyle.

2.To promote exercise.

3.To use the data for future planning.

Sample Size

  • Sample size has been estimated using the formula:

n= Z2 P(1-P)

e2

  • Where n= sample size, Z= level of confidence, P= baseline level of the indicators and e= margin of error.

 

  • Given the estimated prevalence risk factors, P= 0.50, Z= 1.96 (at 95% confidence interval), e= 0.05, the initial estimated sample size would be:

 

  • n= 1.9620.5(1-0.5)= 384

0.052
