Key result
Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension was present in 32.1%, with age 45-64 years significantly increasing the odds of hypertension compared to younger adults (OR 5.96).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to assess the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among type-2 diabetes mellitus patients attending a teaching hospital in Osogbo, Nigeria.

Hypertension affects nearly one-third (32.1%) of type-2 diabetes patients at this Nigerian tertiary center, with middle age (45-64 years), being unmarried, and low physical activity identified as key associated risk factors.
Background: We assessed the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients attending Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State Nigeria. Methods and materials: A hospital-based retrospective study was conducted among 143 type-2 DM patients in LAUTECH Teaching Hospital. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥140 and or diastolic BP ≥90. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 56.2 ±15.79 years. Hypertension was common (32.1%) among type-2 DM participants. Respondents aged 45-64 years (OR= 5.96, 95%CI= 1.60 - 19.12) had the likelihood of being hypertensive. Type-2 DM patients who were not in union (AOR=6.64, 95%CI=1.79 - 24.52) were more likely to be hypertensive. The likelihood of hypertension was lower (AOR= 0.28, 95%CI=0.11 - 0.66) among participants who engaged in moderate physical activity compared to those who engaged in low physical activity. Conclusion: This study identified the age group 45-64 years, not being in a union and engagement in low physical activity as associated factors for hypertension among Diabetes Mellitus participants. Hypertension prevention/treatment should be considered in type-2 Diabetes Mellitus routine treatment.

A et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=143). Age 45-64 years vs. Age 18-44 years was evaluated on Hypertension (OR 5.96, 95% CI 1.60-19.12, p=0.005). Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension was present in 32.1%, with age 45-64 years significantly increasing the odds of hypertension compared to younger adults (OR 5.96).
