dc.description.abstractThe co-occurrence of systemic hypertension and glaucoma was investigated in rural communities of southeast Nigeria. Four hundred and forty six subjects were examined of which 186 (41.7%) were males and 260 (58.3%) were females. Three hundred and forty of the subjects had either hypertension, glaucoma or both. From this number, 183 (53.82%) subjects had hypertension, 157 (46.18%) had glaucoma and 106 (31.17%) had both hypertension and glaucoma. Among the subjects with hypertension, 46.99% were males and 53.01% were females. For the subjects with glaucoma,there were 42.04 % males and 57.96% females. For the subjects who had both hypertension and glaucoma, 44.34% were males and 55.66% were females. Proper awareness and health education campaigns toward mitigating the impact of hypertension and glaucoma was recommended.
