Abstract: Background Hypertension can be detected at the primary health-care level and low-cost treatments can effectively control hypertension. We aimed to measure the prevalence of hypertension and progress in its detection, treatment, and control from 1990 to 2019 for 200 countries and territories. MethodsWe used data from 1990 to 2019 on people aged 30-79 years from population-representative studies with measurement of blood pressure and data on blood pressure treatment. We defined hypertension as having systolic bl… Show more

“…Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and a serious global problem. The prevalence of hypertension has doubled in the past three decades, accounting for 8.5 million deaths annually worldwide ( 26 , 27 ). More importantly, Hypertension was the most common comorbidity among patients with cancer in a large observational cohort study, with a reported prevalence of 38% ( 28 ).…”

“…Although we expect this impact on our study findings, if any, to be minimal as the size of the AMA is relatively small, and primary care, which is the level at which hypertension is often diagnosed and managed, is spread throughout the city [ 60 ]. As a result, household and individual socioeconomic factors, which were included in our model, are likely to have bigger influence on access to care and treatment, which remain much lower in SSA than in other regions [ 6 , 61 , 62 ]. Furthermore, we did not have robust information on typical or long-term dietary features, which are known determinants of BMI and BP [ 17 , 32 ].…”

“…Elevated blood pressure (BP) and body-mass index (BMI) are important risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, kidney disease, and dementia [ 1 , 2 ], and responsible for substantial burden of NCDs [ 3 ]. While high-income countries have experienced declines in population levels of BP and hypertension over the years, BP and hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the fastest urbanising region of the world [ 4 ], is currently rising and at levels surpassing high-income countries [ 5 , 6 ]. BMI is similarly rising in SSA, particularly among women [ 7 , 8 ].…”

“…Hypertension is one of the most common diseases significantly increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of hypertension among adults has increased from 650 million to 1.28 billion in the last 30 years, with 41% of female and 51% of male patients with hypertension being undiagnosed [1]. Moreover, only 23% of female and 18% of male patients with hypertension have well-controlled blood pressure (BP) [1].…”

Moreover, only 23% of female and 18% of male patients with hypertension have well-controlled blood pressure (BP) [1]. Although hypertension is easily diagnosed via BP measurement and treated with various drugs at a low cost, many patients continue to have poorly controlled hypertension.…”
