N2 - Lifestyle changes occurring with urbanization increase the prevalence of both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN). Yemenites who have immigrated to Israel have demonstrated a dramatic increase in T2DM but the prevalence of HTN in diabetic Yemenites is unclear. In a cross-sectional study, the authors evaluated the prevalence of HTN and lifestyle patterns in Israelis with T2DM of Yemenite (Y-DM) and non-Yemenite (NY-DM) origin. Y-DM (n=63) and NY-DM (n=120) had similar age (63±7 vs 64±7 years, P=.5), diabetes duration, diet adherence, and exercise patterns. Y-DM had a lower prevalence of HTN (63%) than NY-DM (83%) (P<.01). Furthermore, Yemenite origin was independently associated with lower prevalence of HTN (odds ratio, 0.3; 95% confidence interval, 0.12–0.71). Blood pressure was well controlled with fewer antihypertensive medications in Y-DM than NY-DM (P<.01). Even though lifestyle patterns were similar in the two groups, Y-DM had a lower prevalence of HTN compared with NY-DM and required fewer antihypertensive medications.
