Abstract

Hypertension and obesity are common life style diseases with increasing burden in worldwide. The objective of this study was to describe the frequency and identify factors associated with obesity or overweight among patients with hypertension seeking care at the department of cardiology of Ignace Deen national hospital in Conakry, Guinea. This was a periodic cross-sectional study from May 1 to July 31, 2017. The majority of the patients was obese (36.22%) or over weighted (33.86%). The multiple logistic regression showed that sex and education level of patients were independently associated with obesity or overweight. Female patients were two times more likely to be obese or over weighted than male patients [Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR): 2.14; 95% confidence interval (C.I): 1. 1.36-3.36]. Patients with at least primary school level were 47% less likely to be obese or over weighted than patients who had not attended school (AOR: 0.53; 95%C.I: 0.35-0.82). Even though this was not statistically significant, patients who were following a diet recommended by a care provider 43% less likely to be obese or over weighted. Particular medical follow up on and regular counseiling about life style for female patients living with hypertension would be relevant during clinical practices.
