“…Another prevalence study, conducted from 1995 to 1998 in people aged 20 years and older (n ¼ 2397) living in four cities in central Argentina (Dean Funes and Oncativo, Có rdoba province; Pehujó, Buenos Aires province; Venado Tuerto, Sante Fé province), found the overall prevalence of high BP to be 36% (range between cities, 28% to 44%) [de Sereday et al 2004]. The prevalence of high BP increased with age, to 75% in people over 60 years of age.…”

“…In Uruguay, for example, 74% of people with high BP were obese (BMI > 25 kg/ m 2 ) [Diaz, 2002]. In Rio de Janeiro, 50% of patients with high BP were obese, and 51% of patients with diabetes also had high BP [de Sereday et al 2004]. In Mexico the prevalence of hypertension is 48.2% in people with diabetes and 28.1% in those without diabetes.…”

High blood pressure (BP) is an enormous global problem, and is especially challenging for low-and middle-income countries such as those of Latin America. Although developed countries have benefited from significant reductions in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in recent decades, comparable reductions have not been achieved in Latin America. In fact, the prevalence of high BP is increasing in many Latin American countries, and the situation will worsen without definitive efforts to correct it. The growing preponderance of hypertension and chronic diseases, coupled with expected increases in population growth, present a mounting threat to Latin American economies. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the burden of high BP throughout Latin America, and presents recommendations for change. The dismal observations warrant a call to action for improved control of high BP and other cardiovascular risk factors across Latin America. Achieving these ambitious goals will require collaborative efforts by many groups, including policymakers, international organizations, healthcare providers, schools and society as a whole.

“…En Latinoamérica, el 13% de las muertes y el 5,1% de los años de vida ajustados por discapacidad (AVAD) pueden ser atribuidos a la hipertensión 1 . La prevalencia ajustada para la edad de la hipertensión en la población adulta general en diferentes países de Latinoamérica (encuestas nacionales o muestreos sistemáticos aleatorizados) varía entre el 26 al 42% [6][7][8][9] . En las poblaciones diabéticas, la prevalencia de la hipertensión es 1,5 a 3 veces mayor que en no diabéticos de la misma franja etaria.…”
