Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
The objectives of this study was to ascertain the impact of hypertension on the economy of two notable states in the South Eastern Nigeria-Enugu and Anambra states; to determine the incidence of hypertension with various predisposing factors and to compare the level of awareness. A total of 200 subjects, aged 18 years and above were sampled using the non-testing instruments of data collection; questionnaires and direct observation using blood pressure measurement instrument, sphygmomanometer. Nsukka urban in Enugu State was grouped into sixteen clusters based on geographical locations as established by a map designed by Nsukka Graduates Association. Six selections or clusters were randomly selected from the sixteen clusters using random sampling technique. In each cluster, the first house in each street was identified followed by systematic sampling of the next three houses. The same procedure was carried out in Awka urban in Anambra State and after the study the data were analyzed statistically.
