Prevalence and risk factors of hypertension with thyroid dysfunction among indian adults: Synthesis from national family health survey (2015-16)
Background: Thyroid dysfunction (TD) is considered a common cause of secondary hypertension (HT). Therefore, correcting TD may help in quicker and sustained achievement of desired blood pressure goals. However, there is a paucity of literature from India which estimates the relationship of HT with T...

| description | Background: Thyroid dysfunction (TD) is considered a common cause of secondary hypertension (HT). Therefore, correcting TD may help in quicker and sustained achievement of desired blood pressure goals. However, there is a paucity of literature from India which estimates the relationship of HT with TD. Objectives: The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of TD with HT and to identify associated factors among Indian population. Materials and Methods: The survey data of the National Family Health Survey 4 (NFHS-4), conducted in India during 2015–2016, were analyzed using R statistical software for estimating the relationship between a history of HT and TD among women (N = 687246) aged 15–49 years and men (N = 108492) aged 15–54 years. Descriptive statistical tests and logistic regression were applied. Results: Among the persons suffering from the TD, the prevalence of HT was 32.8%, which was significantly higher than the prevalence of HT (21.9%) in euthyroid individuals. Further, the prevalence of TD was higher among hypertensive adults (2.5%) compared to nonhypertensive (1.5%). Conclusions: The study reported a higher prevalence of TD among the hypertensive persons and higher prevalence of HT among cases of TD. Therefore, screening for thyroid disorders should be routinely considered for better management of HT. |
