Relationship between Age and Weight Features in Discriminating Hypertensive Patient Population Gender

Background : hypertension is a complex disorder involving multiple organ systems represents the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor in the population. Several studies revealed that more than 50% of the populations over age 65, are likely to have hypertension. Although both men and women develop hypertension, distinct gender differences in the incidence of hypertension are well established where males have a higher incidence of hypertension compared to females of the same age until the sixth decade of life. Also, several studies shown obesity as an increasing factor with regard hypertension incidence. Methods : here, we proposed an associative survey by combining age and weight parameters, with the purpose to characterize hypertensive patient gender. For this purpose, we collected data apropos 386 hypertensive patients from the Regional Hospital (RH) of Korhogo in northern of Cote d’Ivoire (2015-2016). Next, data were analyzed by performing several descriptive and analytical statistical tests. Results : our results suggested low susceptibility of young women (age Conclusion : in conclusion the present study revealed a conflicting aptitude between age and weight parameters in discriminating hypertensive patient genders. Weight features displayed high sensitivity in predicting men hypertensive patients, while age parameter exhibited an acceptable aptitude via-a- vis of female hypertensive patients calling. Finally, this study identifies key factors that contribute to observed gender disparities in hypertensive population in northern locality of Cote d’Ivoire.
