Résumé
There is a high prevalence of hypertension among Lebanese adults, but no evidence is available on its prevalence and control exclusively among older adults (65 + years). This study provides the first evidence on a representative sample of 502 community elderly and presents the basis for future research and policy implications. Results show an overall prevalence of 52% with a significantly higher female-to-male ratio. Factors independently associated with hypertension were older age, body mass index, and dementia. More than a third of those with a positive history of hypertension had uncontrolled blood levels. Uncontrolled hypertension was higher among women. Increasing awareness about medication adherence and controlling multi-morbidities constitute promising measures to lowering the burden of hypertension among Lebanese older adults, especially women.
