“…This may be attributed to the conservative attitude of physicians in prescribing more drugs to attain the required BP values at this age. Likewise, gender was not a significant factor affecting BP control in our study, which was consistent with an Italian study [ 25 ]. Although we could not find a statistically significant relationship between gender and BP control, the prevalence of HTN control was higher among women than men; similar conclusions were reached by researchers in France, Finland, and South Korea [ 26 – 28 ].…”

“…On studying the relationship between HTN control and educational level, we observed the highest proportion of uncontrolled HTN was among secondary school and college graduates, which was statistically significant ( P =0.002). The same result was reported in an Iraqi study [ 25 ]. We can surmise that the poor medical knowledge of patients with a lower education level could limit their awareness on the importance of strict BP control.…”

“…In the first survey, BP was well controlled (<140/90 mm Hg) in 34.6% of patients, but this percentage decreased to 13.6% when BP control was considered according to the CV risk (BP <130/80 mm Hg in patients with high or very high risk—near 80% of the HEROIC study patients). These figures are similar to previous data in PC in Spain, where although BP control has progressively improved in the last few years, present control rates are around 40% in the hypertensive general population, 2–6 and decreasing in patients with high or very high CV risk 6 . An incorrect estimation of the CV risk based on the physician’s perception may have significant implications in the clinical management of hypertensive patients and explain, at least in part, these low rates of BP control.…”

“…However, there is ongoing concern that the benefits demonstrated by antihypertensive drugs in randomized trials are not usually implemented in everyday clinical practice 1 . Although BP control has progressively improved in the last years in Spain, only around 40% of hypertensive patients followed in primary care clinics (PC) are controlled 2–6 …”

“…Характеристика пациентов, не принимающих АГП, мужчин и женщин, включает также более частое чрезмерное потребление алкоголя. Как показали исследования 2012г и 2013г, превышение дозы потребления алкоголя ассоциируется с недостаточным контролем АД, поскольку употребляющие алкоголь недооценивают опасность АГ и важность лечения, реже посещают врача, считая себя здоровыми, поэтому неудивительно, что такие пациенты склонны отказываться от лечения [18,19]. В данном случае надо отметить отрицательную социальную роль алкоголя в популяции.…”
