| dc.description.abstract | Objectives The objective of this study was to determine
the level of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN)
in Vietnam and to assess the trend and recommend the
future direction of prevention research efforts.
Design We searched scientific literature, databases
including PubMed, EMBASE, CINHAL and Google Scholar;
grey literature and reference lists for primary research
published, nation database websites between 1 January
2000 and 30 September 2020. We adapted the modified
Newcastle Ottawa Scale for assessing the quality of the
study, as recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration.
Results In total, 83 studies met our inclusion criteria,
representing data of approximately 239 034 population of
more than 15 years of age in Vietnam. The findings show
that prevalence rates varied widely across studies, from
1.0% to 29.0% for T2DM and 2.0% to 47.0% for HTN. For
the total study period, pooled prevalence of T2DM and
HTN in Vietnam for all studies was 6.0% (95% CI: 4.0%
to 7.0%) and 25% (95% CI: 19% to 31%), respectively.
Prevalence rate of both T2DM and HTN was higher among
the male population compared with female counterpart.
Conclusion There is evidence of a rising trend of HTN and
T2DM prevalence in Vietnam. Future research should focus
on the major drivers, incidence and prognosis of T2DM and
HTN. Policy approaches should base upon the trends of
T2DM and HTN in Vietnam over the last 20 years and pay
more attention on the effective interventions to combat
T2DM and HTN. In our study, we included both English and
Vietnamese language articles and seems that majority of
the articles came from Vietnamese language. | en_US |
