Data from 3831 adult men and women were analysed. Descriptive and analytical analyses were performed using Student\u2019s\u00a0t, ANOVA,\u00a0\u03c72, Fisher\u2019s exact tests and logistic regression.Results:\u00a0Among participants, 41.6% (95% CI: 40.0\u201343.1) had never been screened for hypertension, and compared to those who had ever been screened, they had significantly lower mean weight, waist circumference and body mass index, and lower prevalence of overweight or obesity and abdominal obesity. The prevalence of prehypertension was similar between the two groups (around 40%) and the prevalence of hypertension was lower in those who had never been screened (17.3% vs 20.8%;\u00a0p\u00a0= 0.007). Overweight or obesity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.3;\u00a0p\u00a0= 0.03) and abdominal obesity (aOR = 1.3;\u00a0p\u00a0= 0.002) were associated with screening uptake.Conclusion:\u00a0The Burkinab\u00e8 adults who had never been screened for hypertension were apparently thin, but pre-hypertension or hypertension was also common among them. Increasing body size (excess weight or abdominal obesity) may be the reason for screening uptake.Contribution:\u00a0Specific awareness-raising messages to motivate slim people to undergo screening need to be developed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/jphia.v16i1.737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,23]],"date-time":"2025-09-23T07:02:11Z","timestamp":1758610931000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Anthropometric characteristics between ever and never screened for hypertension in Burkina Faso"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2654-5135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeoffray","family":"Diend\u00e9r\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0594-3887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Toussaint","family":"Rouamba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4038-813X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean","family":"Kabor\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0271-7414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Augustin N.","family":"Zeba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0472-3586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Halidou","family":"Tinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1381-0140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sylvin","family":"Ou\u00e9draogo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8469-1870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Athanase","family":"Millogo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2426-7669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e9ni","family":"Kouanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Schmidt BM, Durao S, Toews I, et al.
