Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of diabetes (DM) among hypertensive (HTN) outpatients at Binh Tan District Hospital and to identify associated risk factors. Using a cross-sectional descriptive design, data were collected from 172 patients through medical records and direct interviews, including demographic information, clinical indicators (fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, BMI), and health behaviors. Results showed that the prevalence of diabetes was 17.4% based on fasting blood glucose, 16.3% based on HbA1c, and 14.5% when combining both criteria. Factors associated with diabetes included high blood pressure (p < 0.001), with patients having blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg being significantly more likely to develop diabetes, and a family history of diabetes (p = 0.002). Meanwhile, behavioral factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity levels showed no significant association with diabetes risk. The findings emphasize the importance of routine diabetes screening in hypertensive patients, especially those at high risk, and suggest implementing blood pressure control and lifestyle management measures to reduce the risk of diabetes progression.
