<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The major burden of hypertension (HTN) occurs in low‐middle‐income countries (LMIC) and it is the main modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Few population studies on HTN prevalence have been carried out in Ecuador where there is limited information regarding its prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of HTN and its association with socio‐economic, nutritional, and lifestyle habits in urban and rural Andean communities of Pichincha province in Ecuador. The authors studied 2020 individuals aged 35‐70 years (mean age 50.8 years, 72% women), included in the Ecuadorian cohort of the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, from February to December 2018. The hypertension prevalence (>140/90 mmHg) was 27% and was greater in urban than in rural communities, more common in men, in individuals older than 50 years of age, in people with low monthly income and low level of education. Higher prevalence was also observed in subjects with obesity, and among former smokers and those who consumed alcohol. Only 49% of those with HTN were aware of their condition, 40% were using antihypertensive medications, and 19% had their blood pressure under control (<140/90 mmHg). These results showed low levels of awareness, treatment, and control of HTN in the Andean region of Ecuador, suggesting the urgent necessity of implementing programs to improve the diagnosis and management of HTN.</jats:p>

Background: The changing epidemiological landscape, marked by the increasing prominence of Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases (NCDs), underscores the need for studies that identify and analyze these conditions and their associated risk factors. This secondary analysis aims to describe the association between socioeconomic and educational characteristics and the prevalence of self-reported NCDs among participants in the PURE-Ecuador cohort in urban and rural populations of the Metropolitan District of Quito (MDQ), Ecuador. Methods: This secondary analysis is part of the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study. Data were collected from February to December 2018, including 2028 participants aged 35 to 70 years from different urban and rural areas of the MDQ. Data collection utilized standardized questionnaires administered in face-to-face interviews. Pearson’s chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess associations. Results: The self-reported prevalence of hypertension was 16.2%, rising to 32.7% in individuals over 60 years old. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 6.7%, coronary heart disease 1.3%, stroke 1.6%, heart failure 1.3%, COPD 0.4%, asthma 1.3%, and cancer 1.9%. Multimorbidity affected 5.9% of participants, with the highest rates in obese and older individuals (≥60 years). Adherence to medications was high for hypertension and diabetes mellitus but varied substantially between communities. Conclusions: The secondary analysis revealed significant disparities in the prevalence and management of NCDs in MDQ. The prevalence of self-reported NCDs in Quito, Ecuador, is significantly associated with age and body mass index (BMI). Older individuals, particularly those over 60 years, and obese participants demonstrated higher rates of NCDs and multimorbidity. While socioeconomic factors such as education and income showed some associations with NCD prevalence, these were less pronounced after adjusting for other variables. These findings highlight the importance of age-specific and obesity-focused interventions in addressing the burden of NCDs in this population.
