Data show that hypertension has become a public health problem in developing countries. Many studies have reported social disparities among the affected populations, but few of them pointed out spatial disparities within towns. We aimed to show that hypertension could be a good indicator of the medical change that occurs unequally in towns. A cross-sectional survey was done in April and October 2004 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, among 2087 adults over 35 years old in different kinds of urban areas. Social and demographic data were collected and blood pressure was measured. Prevalence of hypertension was 40.2%. Age, body mass index, level of equipment, absence of community integration, absence of occupation, duration of residence over 20 years, protein-rich diet and absence of physical activity were identified as risk factors, but there were social and spatial disparities according to location of housing (parcelled-out or non-parcelled-out areas) and to integration within the town. The high rate of hypertension found in Ouagadougou and the heterogeneity of the risk within the population highlights that social and spatial risk factors have to be taken into account for the prevention of the non-transmissible diseases in countries in full process of urbanization and medical change.
