Abstract

Abstract

     Objective: Hypertension is a major health problem among people around the world. It is also a major cause of premature death. However, previous studies inconclusively found that several factors were still unrelated particularly among female individuals. The objective of this unmatched case-control study was to investigate the factors that are correlated with high blood pressure of the female students in Sirindhorn College of Public Health, Khon Kaen.

     Method: The samples of 102 female students were selected using a stratified randomization and divided into 2 groups. The ratio of cases to controls was 1:2 as follows.  The case group and control group were 34 enrolled individuals with blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg and 68 enrolled individuals with blood pressure < 130/85 mmHg, respectively. Data were collected by a questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient = 0.94), and the record of annual health checkup. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (multiple logistic regression analysis) were used to describe results of this study.

     Results: After adjusted for the covariate, the results revealed that factors correlated with high blood pressure of the female students were monthly expenses ≥5,000 baht (ORadj = 3.19, 95% CI: 1.20 to 8.50 ; p-value = 0.020), high body mass index (ORadj = 6.20, 95% CI : 2.02 to 19.00 ; p-value = 0.001), and low level of exercise behavior (ORadj = 2.66, 95% CI : 1.01 to 7.06 ; p-value = 0.049).

     Therefore, there should be health promotion activities for female students by promoting physical exercise to prevent future occurrence of high blood pressure.
