Key result
African Surinamese and Hindustani Surinamese women had higher odds of prehypertension compared with White Dutch women (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.38-3.67, P<0.001 and OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.18-3.60, P<0.01).

Ethnic disparities may inform targeted prehypertension screening in Dutch women; cross-sectional data leaves open causal pathways and prevention effects.

Prehypertension is highly prevalent among minority women in the Netherlands, with distinct ethnic variations in associated risk factors such as BMI, total cholesterol, and fasting glucose.
Agyemang et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in prehypertension. African Surinamese and Hindustani Surinamese ethnicity vs. White Dutch ethnicity was evaluated on prehypertension (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.38-3.67, p=<0.001). African Surinamese and Hindustani Surinamese women had higher odds of prehypertension compared with White Dutch women (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.38-3.67, P<0.001 and OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.18-3.60, P<0.01).
