abstract: 'Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the Kingdom of
Bhutan, and early detection of hypertension is critical for preventing
cardiovascular disease. However, health-seeking behavior, including
blood pressure measurement, is infrequently investigated in Bhutan.
Therefore, this study investigated factors related to blood pressure
measurement in Bhutan. We performed a secondary data analysis of a
target population of 1,962 individuals using data from the ``2014 Bhutan
STEPS survey data{''''}as a cross-sectional study. Approximately 26\% of
those with hypertension who were detected during the STEPS survey had
never had their blood pressure measured. Previous blood pressure
measurement was significantly associated with age and working status in
men (self-employed {[}odds ratio (OR): 0.219, 95\% CI: 0.133-0.361],
non-working {[}OR: 0.114, 95\% CI: 0.050-0.263], employee {[}OR:
1.000]). Previous blood pressure measurement was significantly
associated with higher income in women (Quartile-2 {[}OR: 1.984, 95\%
CI: 1.209-3.255], Quartile-1 {[}OR: 2.161, 95\% CI: 1.415-3.299],
Quartile-4 {[}OR: 1.000]). A family history of hypertension (OR: 2.019,
95\% CI: 1.549-2.243) increased the likelihood of having experienced a
blood pressure measurement in both men and women. Multivariate logistic
regression showed that people with unhealthy lifestyles (high salt
intake {[}adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.247, 95\% confidence interval
(CI): 0.068-0.893], tobacco use {[}AOR: 0.538, 95\% CI: 0.380-0.761])
had a decreased likelihood of previous blood pressure measurement. To
promote the early detection of hypertension in Bhutan, we suggest that
more attention be paid to low-income women, non-working, self-employed,
and low-income men, and a reduction of barriers to blood pressure
measurement. Before the STEPS survey, a substantial number of
hypertensive people had never had their blood pressure measured or were
unconcerned about their health. As a result, we propose that early blood
pressure monitoring and treatment for people with hypertension or at
higher risk of hypertension be given increased emphasis.'
