Recent studies have shown an increasing trend in the prevalence of hypertension in rural communities. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of risks factors for hypertension among the residents of Likosi town, Sagamu local government area, Ogun state, Nigeria. A descriptive crosssectional design was used. 350 respondents aged from 20-80 years were recruited. Hypertension was defined as Systolic blood pressure (SBP) 140 and/or Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 90. statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS package. The prevalence of hypertension was 23.3% (male 11.2% and female 12.1%). The mean age of the respondents was 37.5years. Mean systolic and diastolic BP were 124.25 ± 15.05mmHg and 83.45 ± 9.49mmHg, respectively. Higher odds of being hypertensive were found in 31-40 age group, The prevalence of the various classes of body mass index of the respondents were 18.5%, 45.1%, 15.1% and 24.3% for underweight, normal, overweight and obese respectively. Alcohol and tobacco use were found in 34.5% and 15.4% respectively. Hypertension was significantly associated with age groups 30-49 years (OR 2.258, 95% CI: 1.311 - 3.884),. Tobacco and alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity were also associated with hypertensionReferences
