Objective
The study determined if time perspective was associated with medication adherence among people with hypertension and diabetes.Methods
Using the Health Beliefs Model, we used path analysis to test direct and indirect effects of time perspective and health beliefs on adherence among 178 people who participated in a community-based survey near Washington, D.C. We measured three time perspectives (future, present fatalistic, and present hedonistic) with the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and medication adherence by self-report.Results
The total model demonstrated a good fit (RMSEA = 0.17, 90% CI [0.10, 0.28], p = 0.003; comparative fit index = 0.91). Future time perspective and age showed direct effects on increased medication adherence; an increase by a single unit in future time perspective was associated with a 0.32 standard deviation increase in reported adherence. There were no significant indirect effects of time perspective with reported medication adherence through health beliefs.Conclusion
The findings provide the first evidence that time perspective plays an under-recognized role as a psychological motivator in medication adherence.Practice implications
Patient counseling for medication adherence may be enhanced if clinicians incorporate consideration of the patient's time perspective. 相似文献2.

BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is an emerging cause of morbidity and mortality among HIV-positive patients receiving successful combination antiretroviral therapy, but their CVD risk has been rarely investigated in Asia–Pacific region. We aimed to assess the CVD risk of HIV-positive Taiwanese outpatients.MethodsWe did cross-sectional questionnaire interviews to collect information of HIV-positive Taiwanese patients aged 40–79 at the HIV clinics of a medical center from 1 March to 31 August, 2017. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS), Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk score and Data-Collection on Adverse effects of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) risk score were used to estimate their CVD risk.ResultsOf the screened 1251 patients, 1006 (80.4%) with complete data to assess their CVD risk were included for analyses. The prevalence of patients aged 40–75 and with a high CVD risk was 30.6% by FRS, 3.7% by D:A:D (R) risk score, and 22.2% by ASCVD risk score. In multiple logistic regression, older age, current smoking, higher systolic blood pressure, and higher triglyceride and fasting glucose levels were independently associated with the ASCVD risk score ≥7.5%. If current smokers aged 55–59 had stopped smoking, the proportions of them with a 10-year CVD risk of ≥10% by FRS and ≥7.5% by ASCVD risk score would have decreased by 35.3% and 20.0%, respectively.ConclusionsHigher CVD risk estimates among HIV-positive Taiwanese aged 40–75 were associated with an older age, current smoking, higher systolic blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperglycemia. Smoking cessation could potentially lead to significant decreases of CVD risk. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Most patients managed in primary care have more than one condition. Multimorbidity presents challenges for the patient and the clinician, not only in terms of the process of care, but also in terms of management and risk assessment. AIM: To examine the effect of the presence of chronic kidney disease and diabetes on mortality and morbidity among patients with established cardiovascular disease. DESIGN OF STUDY: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Random selection of 35 general practices in the west of Ireland. METHOD: A practice-based sample of 1609 patients with established cardiovascular disease was generated in 2000-2001 and followed for 5 years. The primary endpoint was death from any cause and the secondary endpoint was a cardiovascular composite endpoint that included death from a cardiovascular cause or any of the following cardiovascular events: myocardial infarction, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, or stroke. RESULTS: Risk of death from any cause was significantly increased in patients with increased multimorbidity (P<0.001), as was the risk of the cardiovascular composite endpoint (P<0.001). Patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes had a similar survival pattern to those with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, but experienced more cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION: Level of multimorbidity is an independent predictor of prognosis among patients with established cardiovascular disease. In such patients, the presence of chronic kidney disease carries a similar mortality risk to diabetes. Multimorbidity may be a useful factor in prioritising management of patients in the community with significant cardiovascular risk. 相似文献

Objective
To compare the perceived seriousness and risk of type 2 diabetes among low risk with high risk profile non-diabetic subjects and examine the relationship of perceived risk with multiple self-reported risk indicators.Methods
A cross-sectional population-based study among 4435 low risk profile and 2607 high risk profile non-diabetic residents of the Hoorn region, participating in a stepwise type 2 diabetes screening study. Main outcome measures were perceived seriousness and risk of diabetes in subjects categorized (low vs. high risk profile) using the Symptom Risk Questionnaire.Results
85.0% of the low risk and 81.2% of the high risk profile subjects perceived diabetes as a moderate to very serious disease. About half (43.0%) of all 7042 subjects reported that they do not know their risk of having diabetes. The mean perceived risk of having diabetes was slightly lower for the low risk compared with the high risk profile subjects (difference = 2.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.8% to 3.8%; P < 0.001). This difference was mostly explained by having a parent or sibling with diabetes, frequent thirst and claudication (difference = 0.6%; 95% CI = −0.7% to 1.9%). Interestingly, perceived risk decreased with increasing age within both groups (P for trend < 0.001).Conclusions
Both low risk and high risk profile subjects perceive diabetes as a serious disease. Even among those at high risk profile for type 2 diabetes, almost half appeared not to know their risk. Perceived risk of having diabetes was slightly lower for the low risk compared with the high risk profile subjects. Furthermore, perceived risk decreases with increasing age.Practice implications
This study points to a greater need to effectively address people's (mis)perceptions, and how to raise the awareness and understanding of type 2 diabetes and its risk factors in the general population in order to influence early detection and healthy lifestyle changes. 相似文献6.

BACKGROUND: In Nigeria, systemic hypertension is the commonest noncommunicable disease, and public awareness about hypertension and its determinants is poor. This study aims to assess the knowledge and level of awareness of the disease among hypertensive patients attending the medical outpatient clinic of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH). METHODOLOGY: Hypertensive patients who attended the medical outpatient clinic during the one-year study period and gave their consent were recruited into the study. Response to a questionnaire on various aspects of hypertension was analyzed using the STATA for Windows software. RESULTS: There were 254 hypertensive patients, of which 111 were males and 143 were females, giving a male: female ratio of 1:1.3. The mean age (SD) of the patients was 51 years +/- 12.2; 52.4% of the participants were aware that hypertension was the commonest noncommunicable disease in Nigeria. About one in 10 patients (11.4%) was aware that "nil symptom" is the commonest symptom of hypertension, while 37% were not aware that hypertension could cause renal failure. Only about one-third (35.4%) of the patients knew that hypertension should ideally be treated for life, while 58.3% believed that antihypertensive drugs should be used only when there are symptoms. The remaining 6.3% believed that the treatment of hypertension should be for periods ranging from two weeks to five years but not for life. CONCLUSION: This study has demonstrated inadequate knowledge of hypertension in patients with hypertension in our study population. Conscious efforts should be made and time set aside to health educate hypertensive patients. Organization of "hypertensive club or society" could be encouraged. These will reduce dissemination of false or inaccurate information by hypertensive patients to the public and its attendant dangers. 相似文献

Background
The prevalence and severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care patients with diabetes or hypertension is unknown.Aim
To assess the prevalence and severity of CKD in patients with diabetes and hypertension; and identify whether age, sex, diabetes, and hypertension are associated with CKD.Design of study
Cross-sectional survey.Setting
Two Dutch primary health care centres (15 954 enlisted patients).Method
Patients, aged ≥25 years, with known diabetes type 2 (n = 471) or hypertension (n = 960), were selected on 1 October 2006. Initial screening uptake rates were assessed from the electronic patient records, and patients were invited when blood or urine measurements were missing. The presence of albuminuria was determined, glomerular filtration rate estimated, and clinical characteristics extracted.Results
Initial screening uptake rates were 93% and 69% for diabetes and hypertension, respectively, and increased to 97% (n = 455) and 87% (n = 836) after active invitation. The prevalence of CKD was 28% in diabetes and 21% in hypertension only. The presence of diabetes was independently associated with albuminuria (odds ratio [OR] 4.23; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.67 to 6.71), but not with decreased estimated GFR (eGFR) (OR 0.75; 95% CI = 0.54 to 1.04). Age showed the strongest association with decreased eGFR (OR 2.73; 95% CI = 2.02 to 3.70).Conclusion
In primary care, more than one-quarter of patients with diabetes and about one-fifth of patients with hypertension have CKD. The high prevalence justifies longitudinal follow-up in order to evaluate whether intensified cardiovascular risk management is beneficial in this primary care population. 相似文献11.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) improves the survival of patients with HIV infection; however, several observational studies have described associations between HIV infection, HAART, and cardiovascular disease. Important limitations of these studies included a low incidence of cardiovascular events, short duration of HAART exposure, and retrospective design. Nevertheless, the weight of evidence from observational and surrogate end point studies suggests that the dyslipidemia and other metabolic changes that are common in patients with HIV infection and those using HAART may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The Infectious Disease Society of America/Adults AIDS Clinical Trials Group guidelines for the evaluation and management of dyslipidemia recommend target lipid levels and treatment of dyslipidemia in patients with HIV infection. Although practitioners should consider dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk when making plans for initiating or altering HAART therapy, maintaining viremic control should be the overriding factor, because short-term absolute rates of cardiovascular disease are significantly lower than death rates from AIDS in inadequately suppressed patients. This article reviews the cardiovascular risks in patients receiving HAART and discusses the implementation of the new guidelines. 相似文献

BackgroundRecently, developing countries have shown a dramatic increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The burden of NCDs in South Africa has increased over the past years resulting in an estimated 37% of all- cause mortality and 16% of disability-adjusted life years. Currently, diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) are the two most prevalent NCDs associated with the rapid increase in mortality.ObjectiveTo demonstrate the socio-demographic and modifiable risk factors of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) among South African adults.MethodsA cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital serving the residents of Mdantsane. Relevant socio-demographic data, anthropometric measurements, triplicate blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and lipogram analysis were obtained from 265 outpatients.ResultsMultivariate anlysis shows that; salt intake, smoking, elevated triglycerides and decreased high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly associated with DM with adjusted odds ratio of 0.18 (p=0.002), 0.26 (p=0.048), 2.19 (p=0.006) and 0.38 (p=0.001), respectively. Overweight and obesity were significantly associated with hypertension with odds ratio of 0.03 (p=0.01) and 0.06 (p=0.006), respectively.ConclusionThe burden of DM and HTN on society can be drastically reduced with simple lifestyle changes, development of preventative strategies, large-scale screening and better disease management in South Africa. 相似文献

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension are independent risk factors for atherosclerotic lesions that are partly linked with dyslipidaemia. This risk is additive when diabetes and hypertension occur concurrently. In order to determine if concurrent type 2 diabetes and hypertension results in putative increases in dyslipidaemia in a Nigerian population, we compared the plasma lipid levels, atherogenic index and prevalence of dyslipidaemia among age and sex-matched indigenous Nigerians with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and concurrent diabetes and hypertension. Age and sex-matched healthy Nigerians that are free of diabetes and hypertension served as controls. The patients as a whole were more likely to have dyslipidaemia than controls (p < 0.05). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was similar among patients and controls. Mean total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels, atherogenic index and prevalence of dyslipidaemia did not differ significantly among patients with hypertension, diabetes, and concurrent hypertension and diabetes (p = 0.99 for each parameter). It is concluded that concurrent hypertension and type 2 diabetes does not result in a more severe dyslipidaemia than when either of the two conditions occurs in isolation. We attribute this to the common pathogenic link between hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia in metabolic syndrome. Evidence, albeit indirect, of this syndrome among native Africans is, therefore, provided. 相似文献

There are limited resources and facilities at primary care clinics in most developing countries. Medical professionals are
often faced with the challenges of providing standard health care delivery in the absence of adequate resources. We aimed
to evaluate the long-term glycemic control and risk of cardiovascular disease in multi-ethnic groups of diabetic patients
attending primary care clinics in Trinidad. One hundred and ninety-one (127 females, 64 males, mean age 56.6 years) patients
with type 2 diabetes (mean duration 9.2 years) attending primary care clinics in Trinidad were studied after a 12 to 14-h
overnight fast. Weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, and blood pressure were measured, and a blood sample was taken
for glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol,
and creatinine determinations. About 85% of patients had glycated hemoglobin levels >7.0%, 31% had central obesity, 49% had
diastolic blood pressure >83 mmHg, while 40% had a total-cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio greater than
6. In comparison with males, female patients had significantly higher levels of total-cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol
independent of obesity (P<0.01) while male patients of East Indian descent had the highest risk of cardiovascular disease compared with males of any
other ethnic group (P<0.01). In conclusion patients with type 2 diabetes attending primary care clinics in Trinidad had poor glycemic control.
Female and male patients of Indian ethnic group were at the highest risk of cardiovascular disease. Efforts at strict glycemic
control and protection against microvascular complications should be intensified at primary care levels.

BACKGROUND: Isolated office hypertension (IOH) has been accepted as a benign condition by some researchers, whereas others believe that it is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities and increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this present study was to evaluate the effects of IOH on target organ damage and cardiovascular risk indices. METHODS: Arterial blood pressure (BP) measured in the office and by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABMP), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), cardiothoracic index (CTI), duration of QTc, 24-hour microalbuminuria, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol, low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels were evaluated. Thirty-three subjects with IOH (office BP > or = 140/90 mmHg and daytime ambulatory BP <135/85 mmHg), 17 patients with sustained hypertension (office BP > or = 140/90 mmHg and daytime ambulatory BP > or = 135/85 mmHg), and 17 normotensive control subjects were recruited in the study. The three groups were matched for age, sex and body mass index. RESULTS: CIMT was greater in patients with IOH than in normotensive subjects, and it was significantly lower than that of sustained hypertension patients. Significantly higher LVMI was determined in subjects with IOH compared to normotensive subjects. CTI, QTc, microalbuminuria, fibrinogen, CRP, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels did not differ significantly among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: IOH causes significant target organ damage and should not be regarded as a benign condition. 相似文献

Type 2 diabetes is a common disorder with an increased risk of macrovascular complications. Achieving adequate glycaemic control is an important aim of therapy. Thiazolidinediones, or glitazones, have been used for the treatment of diabetes for a decade. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone are currently available, however recent concerns around cardiovascular safety have led to restrictions on their use. Initial trials showed treatments with glitazones improved glycaemic control, however long-term outcomes such as cardiovascular events were not measured. Evidence from more recent trials suggests rosiglitazone is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and both glitazones are associated with higher rates of heart failure. This article discusses the evidence behind these concerns and the most recent guidance on use of thiazolidinediones in clinical practice. 相似文献
