The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension (HTN) in the Mizo population from Mizoram, North East India. We carried out a cross-sectional study among urban and rural populations. Socio-demographic and clinical information, including blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were collected by house-to-house visits and recorded in a predesigned and pretested questionnaire. The study included a total of 12,313 subjects (male: 5707, female: 6606) from urban (n = 5853) and rural (n = 6460) localities. All information was analysed using the statistical package SPSS- 17. Prevalence of HTN was 15.9% with significant urban–rural (18.9% versus 13.2%, P < 0.001) and gender variation (18.2% versus 13.9%, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis in the overall (rural and urban) model was carried out, which revealed that age, extra salt (salt as a side dish), tuibur (a special form of tobacco), high BMI and sedentary lifestyle were independently associated with HTN (P < 0.05). This study has public health implications, as community- based lifestyle intervention of these risk factors may alleviate the burden of HTN.Keywords
