Objective To investigate the prevalence and treatment of essential hypertension with diabetes mellitus（hereinafter referred to as hypertension with diabetes）in a university community of Chongqing so as to provide an evidence for a more comprehensive and effective prevention and control of cardiovascular disease.Methods 6 099 permanent residents aged 20 and above in a university community of Chongqing were surveyed with questionnaires and taken physical examination and biochemical tests to screen hypertension and diabetes

and screening results were analyzed statistically.Results Among all the residents

the incidence of hypertension was 24.1%

the incidence of diabetes was 34.0%

the incidence of hypertension with diabetes was 10.1%

of which the incidence for males was 12.6%and 7.1%for females and the difference was statistically significant（χ

=50.700

P=0.000）.41.8% of hypertensive patients suffered from diabetes and 29.7% of diabetic patients suffered from hypertension.With increasing age

the incidence of hypertension with diabetes increased gradually and its incidence and age were positively correlated（r=0.279

P=0.000）;incidences for males in all age groups were higher than females and the differences in incidences between males and females of40-year-old

50-year-old and 60-year-old groups were statistically significant（χ

P=0.000）;overweight and obese patients and ones with central obesity had high incidences of hypertension with diabetes

respectively 15.2% and 22.2%;the awareness rate of hypertension with diabetes in hypertension-with-diabetes patients were 51.0%

of which 68.2% of the patients had been receiving antihypertensive

hypoglycemic treatment and the standardized controlling rate was 52.3%.The awareness rate

treatment rate and standardized controlling rate（52.3%

69.3%

57.1%）in females were higher than males（50.4%

67.6%

50.0%）.Conclusion The prevalence and treatment of hypertension with diabetes is not optimistic and health education in community should be strengthened to the whole population

especially to high-risk groups of hypertension with diabetes

such as middle-aged and the elderly

overweight and obese people

while all the grass-roots doctors need to focus on the diagnosis of hypertension with diabetes and its comprehensive prevention and control measures

which is of great significance to prevent the occurrence of hypertension with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
