Why the study?
What demographic and lifestyle characteristics are associated with periodic home blood pressure measurement in a worksite population?
What demographic and lifestyle characteristics are associated with periodic home blood pressure measurement in a worksite population?
A minority of individuals perform regular home blood pressure monitoring, with adherence being particularly low among those with multiple metabolic comorbidities or unhealthy lifestyles.
Low HBP monitoring rates persist in worksite populations; leaves open questions on barriers and strategies to improve adherence.
Approximately 10% of individuals not treated for hypertension periodically measured HBP. Age and blood pressure in males and females, and healthy lifestyles in females, were associated with having opportunistic HBP measurement. Approximately 25% of individuals treated for hypertension measured HBP every day. Individuals treated for dyslipidemia or diabetes and females with unhealthy lifestyle and uncontrolled hypertension were less likely to measure HBP every day.
