Hypertension Prevalence Based on Blood Pressure Measurements on Two vs. One Visits: A Community-Based Screening Programme and a Narrative Review

Abstract: We assessed the difference in the prevalence of hypertension in community surveys when blood pressure (BP) was measured on two vs. one visits and its impact on hypertension awareness, treatment and control proportions. A community-based BP screening programme was conducted in public places in the Seychelles (619 adults) and BP was rechecked a few days later among untreated participants with high BP (≥140/90 mmHg). A narrative review of the literature on this question was also conducted. Only 64% of untreated p… Show more

“…The treatment rate was 47% (43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51) in women and 38% (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41) in men. Less than half of those treated had achieved hypertension control, leading to global control rates of 23% (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) for women and 18% (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) for men with hypertension (figure 3). 27-34% of women and men in the highincome western and Asia-Pacific regions with hypertension were not aware of their condition, an additional 10-14% were untreated, and 21% did not achieve control (figure 3).…”

“…We applied a Bayesian hierarchical model to these sex-specific and age-specific data to estimate the primary outcomes by country, year, and age. All analyses 23% (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) controlled (47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62) were done separately by sex and for each primary outcome. The model is described in detail in a statistical paper 9 and related substantive papers 6,10 and summarised in the appendix (pp 4-6).…”

“…Every country has an adopted definition for high blood pressure which is more often guided by the WHO criteria. Some guidelines suggest that HBP should be defined as BP which is consistently higher than 130/80 mmHg, while WHO guidelines suggest higher than 140/90 mmHg 9 11 . Elevated SBP is a leading global health risk 12 , 13 .…”

“…Every year nearly 9.5 million cases of hypertension are recorded. 3 The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 stated that as many as 1.13 billion people in the world have hypertension. The number of hypertension sufferers is estimated at 1.5 billion people in 2025 and an estimated 10.44 million people die from hypertension each year.…”
