Description:
Significant increases have been seen over the past 10 years in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control among adults with hypertension. However, less than 50% of adults with hypertension controlled their blood pressure (BP) in 2007–2008 (1). The high prevalence of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension, especially among minority groups, remains a challenge (2,3). A recent prediction model showed that every 10% increase in hypertension treatment could prevent an additional 14,000 deaths per year in the adult population ages 25–79 (4). This report examines the most recent national data on hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control.
