Validity of self-reported hypertension and associated factors among Vietnamese adults: a cross-sectional study

AbstractBackground This study aims to determine the validity of self-reported hypertension and identify factors affecting the disagreement between self-reported hypertension and objective measures of blood pressure among adults in Vietnam.Materials and Methods A total of 4,219 people aged 18 and old...

description AbstractBackground This study aims to determine the validity of self-reported hypertension and identify factors affecting the disagreement between self-reported hypertension and objective measures of blood pressure among adults in Vietnam.Materials and Methods A total of 4,219 people aged 18 and older reported their hypertension status and had their blood pressure measured. The inter-reliability between self-reported and measured hypertension was assessed using Cohen’s Kappa statistics. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to examine the affecting factors of disagreement.Result Self-reported hypertension prevalence was 13.2% (557/4,219), while measured hypertension was 20.9% (881/4,219). An agreement between self-reported and measured data was moderate for the hypertension of participants (κ = 0.39, 95% CI 0.36-0.43). Self-reported hypertension showed high specificity (93.9%) (95% CI 93.0-94.7) but low sensitivity (40.1%; 95 CI 36.8-43.4). The percentage of disagreement in hypertension (number of false positives and false negatives between self-reported and measured data) among adults in Vietnam was 17.3%.Conclusion Our findings showed there was a high disagreement percentage of hypertension between self-reported and measured data. This is the first report of this issue to warn of health risks if high blood pressure is not detected early. The disagreement of hypertension was observed more frequently in men, people older than 40, minority ethnic groups, farmers, and people with a BMI greater than 25 kg/m2.
