A large registry analysis in Malaysia highlights poor blood pressure control among type 2 diabetes patients, identifying systemic and demographic factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
Chew et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension (n=70,889). Anti-hypertensive agent use vs. No anti-hypertensive agent use was evaluated on Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP ≥130/80 mmHg) (OR 2.7, p=<0.001). In Malaysian adults with type 2 diabetes, patients on anti-hypertensive agents were 2.7 times more likely to have uncontrolled blood pressure, alongside other determinants including Malay ethnicity, older age, and being overweight.
