Prevalence of hypertension, its correlates and levels of awareness in Rural Wardha, Central India
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To study the prevalence, correlates of hypertension and level of awareness regarding hypertension in rural area of Wardha District of Central India. Design: It is a cross sectional study. Two stage sampling method was used to reach the study subjects. In first stage, cluster-sampling method was used to identify 30-clusters to be studied. Then in the second stage, systematic random sampling method was used to select the households. All the people of 18 years and above from the selected households were included in the study. Setting: The study was carried out in the area of two Rural Health Training Centers, namely Bhidi and Anji of Department of Community Medicine, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sewagram, Wardha District. Participants: All the members aged 18 years and above from selected households were included in the study. Those who were absent on two repeated visits, pregnant mothers and those who were not able to stand erect were excluded from the study. Main outcome measures: Prevalence of hypertension correlates of hypertension, proportion of individuals aware of their hypertensive status and proportion of hypertensive taking regular treatment. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was found to be 20.6%. The mean systolic blood pressure was 119.08 + 15.68 mm Hg and mean diastolic blood pressure was 76.85 + 17.82 mm Hg. Significant risk of hypertension was found with increased age, increase in BMI, waist-hip ratio and occupations involving sedentary work. The risk decreased significantly with increase in educational level. The level of awareness regarding hypertension was very poor. Only 13.6% of the hypertensive was aware of the condition while only 8.7% of the hypertensive was taking the treatment regularly. Conclusion: As the prevalence of hypertension is high (20.6%), an appropriate intervention program shall be launched considering the modifiable risk factors in the area are BMI and Waist-hip ratio.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
