“… 2 Thus, hypertension control is a major public health priority. 3 Yet rates of hypertension and hypertension control are not uniformly distributed throughout the population. For example, populations with fewer economic resources and communities of color tend to have disproportionately higher rates of hypertension and/or lower rates of hypertension control.…”

Lower 24-h urinary sodium excretion is associated with hypertension control: the 2010 Heart Follow-Up Study

Among individuals with hypertension, controlling high blood pressure (BP) reduces the risk for cardiovascular events and death. Reducing dietary sodium can help achieve BP control. The study aim was to use a population-based sample utilizing the gold-standard for urinary sodium to quantify the degree with which sodium was independently associated with BP control among individuals with hypertension. Participants included 1 568 adults from the Heart Follow-Up Study, a New York City population-based representative study conducted in 2010. Participants collected urine for 24 hours and had BP and other anthropometrics measured. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg, diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg, or being on BP lowering medication. Sodium intake (mg/day) was measured from a single 24-hour urine collection. Hypertension prevalence was 30.8%. Among those with hypertension, 64.6% were aware, 56.3% were treated, and 40.3% were controlled. Among those treated for hypertension, 73.0% were controlled. Mean sodium intake among those with hypertension was 3 564 mg/day. From multivariable adjusted logistic regression models, each 500mg decrease in 24-hour urinary sodium excretion was associated with a 18% higher odds of hypertension control among those with hypertension (1.18, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.30). In New York City, approximately one in three people has hypertension with a majority uncontrolled. Sodium intake among those with hypertension was 55% greater than recommended upper limit of 2 300 mg per day. Among individuals with hypertension, lower sodium intake was associated with hypertension control.

Despite the availability of effective treatments, hypertension control rates remain inadequate in the United States and locally in Los Angeles County. To address this health condition, QueensCare Health Centers developed and launched a team-based hypertension management program that was led by clinical pharmacists and designed to mitigate treatment barriers encountered at the system, provider, and patient levels. System- and provider-focused strategies included incorporating self-monitored blood pressure values into the electronic health record and retraining clinicians to regularly review these values; adding a community health worker to the disease management team; and utilizing clinical pharmacists to assess and titrate medications. Patient-focused strategies included tailoring education materials to reduce literacy and linguistic barriers; providing tailored one-on-one education and support; and providing blood pressure cuffs and pedometers. This multilevel intervention serves as a practical example of how team-based care can be optimized at a Federally Qualified Health Center.
