초록

This study was to examine the relationship between lifestyle factors and hypertension in Korean men. The subjects were 1,938 men aged 20 to 79 yr who visited health promotion center for medical check during 2004-2008. The diagnosis of hypertension was defined by JNC7 report. The prevalence of hypertension was 23.3% in this study population. Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that the odds ratio (95% CI) of hypertension across age groups were 2.40 (1.42-4.09) for forties, 3.64 (2.16-6.12) for fifties, 6.43 (3.80-10.88) for sixties, 5.80 (2.96-11.38) for seventies compared to the twenties. Also, compared with normal group, the odds ratio (95% CI) of hypertension in over-weight and obese groups were 2.94 (2.11-4.09) and 3.70 (2.70-5.07), respectively. The odds ratio (95% CI) of hypertension in those who were drinking one or two times per week and three times per week were 1.33 (1.03-1.72) and 2.33 (1.67-3.22), respectively, compared with non-drinker group. It is concluded that the significant risk factors of hypertension were age, BMI, and alcohol-drinking among Korean men. However, smoking, exercise, and diet were not related to the risk of hypertension.
