Abstract
High blood pressure (HBP) and diabetes are frequently associated cardiovascular risk factors. The objective of our study is to estimate the prevalence of diabetes in a hypertensive’s population followed in the cardiology department, Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca, and to study the relationship between hypertension and diabetes as well as their clinical and epidemiological aspects. During the study period, we were able to identify 87 diabetic patients among 227 hypertensives, followed in the cardiology department, i.e. a prevalence of 38.32%. Our study showed the frequent association of these two pathologies and more particularly in female patients, and that this association increases with age. The average age onset was 61.46 years.
