Shinikizo la damu, pia hujulikana kama shinikizo la damu, ni hali ya kiafya inayoathiri takriban watu wazima milioni 120 nchini Marekani na mmoja kati ya watu wazima watatu duniani kote.<\/p>\n

Ripoti mpya ya Shirika la Afya Ulimwenguni <\/a>(WHO) imesema licha ya ugonjwa huo kutibika, watu wanne kati ya watano duniani kote wenye shinikizo la damu hawapati matibabu ya kutosha.<\/p>\n

Ripoti hiyo ilifichua kuwa idadi ya watu wanaougua shinikizo la damu imeongezeka maradufu kutoka milioni 650 mwaka 1990 hadi bilioni 1.3 mwaka wa 2019. Ilisema zaidi kipengele kinachohusika zaidi na ukuaji huo mkubwa ni kwamba karibu nusu ya watu walikuwa hawajui hali zao. kufanya iwe vigumu kwao kupokea uingiliaji wa mapema wa matibabu na usimamizi.<\/p>\n

Takwimu zilionyesha kuwa zaidi ya 75% ya watu wazima wenye shinikizo la damu wanaishi katika nchi za kipato cha chini na cha kati, na hivyo kusisitiza hitaji la dharura la upatikanaji wa huduma za afya kwa usawa. Maafisa wa afya walisema ikiwa nchi zinaweza kuongeza chanjo, vifo milioni 76 vinaweza kuzuiwa kati ya sasa na 2050.<\/p>\n

Shinikizo la damu ni nini?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shinikizo la damu ni hali ya kawaida inayoathiri mishipa ya mwili. Kuwa na shinikizo la damu kunamaanisha kuwa damu inayosukuma kuta za ateri huwa juu mara kwa mara kuliko kawaida, jambo ambalo husababisha moyo kufanya kazi kwa bidii ili kusukuma maji hayo muhimu.<\/p>\n

Njia pekee ya kujua kama unasumbuliwa na shinikizo la damu ni kuwa na a mtihani wa shinikizo la damu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shinikizo la damu hupimwa kwa milimita za zebaki (mm Hg). Kwa ujumla, shinikizo la damu hufafanuliwa kuwa na usomaji wa shinikizo la damu wa milimita 140\/90 ya zebaki (mm Hg) au zaidi.<\/p>\n

Shinikizo la damu linaweza kuwa hatari kwani dalili huenda zisigunduliwe na zisionyeshe kwa miaka mingi, na hivyo kusababisha hali mbaya zaidi kama vile kiharusi, mshtuko wa moyo, kushindwa kwa moyo, uharibifu wa figo na matatizo mengine kadhaa ya afya.<\/p>\n

Ingawa vipengele kama vile jeni na uzee huathiri hatari ya shinikizo la damu, vipengele vinavyoweza kubadilishwa kama vile lishe yenye chumvi nyingi, kutofanya mazoezi ya mwili na unywaji pombe kupita kiasi huchangia pakubwa katika kuongeza hatari ya shinikizo la damu.<\/p>\n

Ni muhimu kusisitiza kwamba utambuzi wa mapema na udhibiti mzuri wa shinikizo la damu ni kati ya afua za gharama nafuu katika utunzaji wa afya.<\/p>\n

Kutengeneza marekebisho ya mtindo wa maisha<\/a> kama vile kula lishe bora, kuacha matumizi ya tumbaku, na kuongeza mazoezi ya mwili kunaweza kusaidia sana kupunguza shinikizo la damu.<\/p>\n

Walakini, watu fulani wanaweza kuhitaji dawa<\/a> kwa ufanisi kudhibiti shinikizo la damu na kuzuia matatizo yanayohusiana nayo.<\/p>\n

"Shinikizo la damu linaweza kudhibitiwa ipasavyo kwa kutumia dawa rahisi na za bei ya chini, na bado ni mtu mmoja tu kati ya watano walio na shinikizo la damu ambaye ameidhibiti," alisema Dk. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, mkurugenzi mkuu wa WHO.<\/p>\n

"Programu za kudhibiti shinikizo la damu zinasalia kupuuzwa, kutopewa kipaumbele na kufadhiliwa kwa kiasi kikubwa. Kuimarisha udhibiti wa shinikizo la damu lazima iwe sehemu ya safari ya kila nchi kuelekea huduma ya afya kwa wote, kwa kuzingatia mifumo ya afya inayofanya kazi vizuri, yenye usawa na thabiti, iliyojengwa juu ya msingi wa huduma ya afya ya msingi,\u201d aliongeza.<\/p>\n

WHO iliripoti kwamba manufaa ya kiuchumi ya programu zilizoboreshwa za matibabu ya shinikizo la damu hupita gharama zake kwa takriban 18 hadi 1.<\/p>\n

Shinikizo la damu ni miongoni mwa mada ambazo "zisizopendeza kuzungumzia" kwani ni jambo la kawaida sana, na pia kwa sababu watu binafsi kwa ujumla hawaoni dalili zinazoonekana kutoka kwayo, Dk. Gregory Katz, daktari wa magonjwa ya moyo katika NYU Langone Heart na profesa msaidizi katika kitengo cha shinikizo la damu. Idara ya Tiba katika Kitengo cha Leon H. Charney cha Cardiology katika Shule ya Tiba ya NYU Grossman huko New York, ilisema.<\/p>\n

"Kwa mtazamo wa afya ya umma, ni kupunguza sodiamu katika vyakula vilivyosindikwa, na kujaribu kufanya mazingira yafaa kufanya mazoezi. Kwa watu binafsi, ni udhibiti wa dhiki, usingizi, na mazoezi. Kwa madaktari, ni ufikiaji kwa jamii ambazo shinikizo la damu halifuatiliwi vizuri. Ni kuelewa idadi ni nini na kutambua vikwazo vya matibabu, na kisha kuingilia kati," Katz aliiambia. Laini ya afya<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kutibu shinikizo la damu kupitia huduma za msingi za afya kutasaidia kuokoa maisha, huku pia kuokoa mabilioni ya dola kila mwaka, Michael R. Bloomberg, Balozi wa Ulimwenguni wa WHO wa Magonjwa na Majeraha yasiyoambukiza, aliambia Shirika la Afya la Pan American<\/a>.<\/p>\n
