| Summary, etc. | <br/>Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases globally, affecting over 1.5 billion people. Defined by a blood pressure (BP) of 140/90 mmHg or higher, HTN significantly raises cardiovascular risk with each increment above 115/75 mmHg. Research on HTN awareness among reproductive-aged women in Sub-Saharan Africa is limited.<br/><br/>Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 113 reproductive-aged women attending Kambarage Health Center, Shinyanga, Tanzania, from June to August 2024. Data were collected using structured self-administered questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS 20.0, employing Chi-square tests with a significance level of p<0.05.<br/><br/>Results: The study found 65.5% of participants knowledgeable about HTN, with 57.5% correctly identifying it as BP >140/90 mmHg. Notable risk factors included family history (37.2%), high salt intake (38.1%), smoking (27.4%), and alcohol consumption (36.3%).<br/><br/>Conclusion: Despite good overall knowledge, significant gaps and lifestyle risk factors were identified. Targeted educational interventions are needed to improve awareness and promote healthier lifestyle choices among reproductive-aged women in the region<br/> |
