ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

Geographic variation in obesity, Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) prevalence at the parish level was examined using the Jamaica Health and Lifestyle Survey 2008 (JHLS II).

Methods:

Total and sex-specific parish age-adjusted prevalence estimates of obesity, DM and HTN were obtained and ranked. Binary logistic regression models were adjusted for age, urbanicity, educational level, physical activity and diet.

Results:

Parish prevalence ranges were obesity 19.5-37.8% (1.7-31.0% in men versus 27.39-48.30% in women); DM 5.08-37.82% (0-26.45% in men versus 7.11-14.17% in women) and HTN 19.50-36.02% (10.94-48.39% in men versus 18.85-36.61% in women). The highest parish prevalences were St Elizabeth for obesity, Portland for DM and St Mary for HTN. Men residing in St Elizabeth were 16 times more obese compared to those in Portland [(Odds Ratio) OR = 15.84; 95% CI = 2.00, 125.51, p < 0.01], while women in St Elizabeth had twice the odds of being obese compared to those in St Ann [OR = 2.3; 95% CI, 1.007, 5.3). Men in Portland were eight times more likely to have HTN compared to those residing in St Ann (OR = 7.70; 95% CI = 2.34, 25.40, p = 0.001) whilst women in St Mary were three times more likely to be hypertensive compared to those living in St Thomas (OR = 3.05; 95% CI = 1.63, 5.72, p = 0.001). No significant associations were seen with DM.

Conclusion:

Significant heterogeneity exists at the parish level in obesity, DM and HTN, with important sex differences. Further analyses are needed to understand the determinants and work toward context-specific prevention and intervention programming.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

La variación geográfica de la prevalencia de la obesidad, la diabetes mellitus (DM) y la hipertensión (HT) a nivel parroquia, se examinó usando la Encuesta 2008 sobre Salud y Estilo de Vida de Jamaica (JHLS-2).

Métodos:

Los estimados totales y específicos por género, ajustados por edad y a nivel de parroquia, de la prevalencia de la obesidad, DM y HT, fueron obtenidos y clasificados. Los modelos de regresión logística binaria fueron ajustados por edad, urbanidad, nivel educacional, actividad física, y dieta.

Resultados:

Los rangos de prevalencia por parroquia fueron como sigue obesidad 19.5- 37.8% (1.7-31.0% en hombres versus 27.39-48.30% en mujeres); DM 5.08-37.82% (0- 26.45% en hombres versus 7.11-14.17% en mujeres); y HT 19.50-36.02% (10.94-48.39% en hombres versus 18.85-36.61% en mujeres). Las prevalencias más altas por parroquia fueron Saint Elizabeth en obesidad, Portland en DM, y Saint Mary en HT. Los hombres de Saint Elizabeth eran 16 veces más obesos en comparación con los de Portland [(Odds Ratio) OR = 15.84; 95% IC = 2.00, 125.51, p < 0.01], mientras que las mujeres de Saint Elizabeth tenían el doble de probabilidades de ser obesas en comparación con las de Saint Ann (OR = 2.3; 95% IC, 1.007, 5.3). Los hombres de Portland eran ocho veces más propensos a padecer de HT en comparación con los residentes en Saint Ann (OR = 7.70; 95% IC = 2.34, 25.40, p = 0.001) en tanto que las mujeres de Saint Mary tenían tres veces más probabilidades de ser hipertensas comparadas con las que viven en Saint Thomas (OR = 3.05; 95% IC = 1.63, 5.72, p = 0.001). No se observaron asociaciones significativas con DM.

Conclusión:

Existe una heterogeneidad significativa a nivel de parroquias en cuanto a obesidad, DM, y HT, con importantes diferencias de género. Se necesitan más análisis para entender las determinantes y trabajar hacia la programación de intervenciones y prevenciones específicas del contexto.
