| الوصف: | Background: Secondhand smoking (SHS) is the exposure to smoke arising from a burning cigarette or exhaled by a smoker. It is a significant public health problem worldwide and whether it is associated with hypertension, particularly among Africans, is yet to be clearly understood. This study evaluated the relationship between SHS and hypertension among stroke-free adults who are non-smokers in the Stroke Investigation Research and Educational Network (SIREN) study. Methods: We identified 3905 adults (≥18years who had never smoked) in the SIREN study conducted in Ghana and Nigeria. Participants reported a history of SHS exposure in an indoor environment. Hypertension was defined as one of the following conditions; mean SBP≥140mmHg, DBP≥90mmHg or use of antihypertensive medications. Logistic regression was used to estimate the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for hypertension by SHS exposure at a two-sided P Results: Overall, mean age was 55.8±14.9years, 18.2% (712 of 3905) had SHS exposure, with a higher proportion among males 20.0% (360 of 1803) than females 16.7% (352 of 2102). SHS was associated with higher odds of having hypertension in the overall population; OR: 1.2 (95%CI: 1.0, 1.5) among females; OR: 1.6 (95%CI: 1.2, 2.1), but not among males; OR: 0.9 (95%CI: 0.7, 1.2). Conclusion: SHS was associated with higher odds of hypertension, particularly among females in this sample. The viability of public interventions in mitigating the potential effect of SHS cannot be underestimated in managing the hypertension burden among Africans, pending longitudinal studies to establish causal associations between SHS and hypertension. |
