Why the study?

With a rising burden of T2DM and cardiovascular complications in Nigeria, evaluating hypertension prevalence, patterns, determinants, and impact on CVD risk was needed to strengthen control and prevention efforts.

Population

T2DM patients in North Central Nigeria

Design

Hospital-based cross-sectional analytical study

Discussion

Implication

Supports intensified hypertension screening in Nigerian T2DM; cross-sectional data leaves determinants and risk prediction open for validation.

Structured PICO

Population

200 adult Nigerian patients (≥18 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) attending a medical outpatient clinic in North Central Nigeria. Excluded: Type 1 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and secondary causes of hypertension.

Outcome

Prevalence of hypertension, determinants of hypertension, and 10-year estimated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk using the WHO CVD risk assessment chart

Hypertension is highly prevalent (65.5%) among Nigerian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is independently associated with longer diabetes duration, systemic inflammation, and increased 10-year cardiovascular risk.
