“…These data are basically in accordance with previously published studies. 10 Moreover, the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of HT in Galicia showed some differences with respect to previous studies performed in Spain. For example, Banegas et al 6 in a study of a Spanish population sample of 2021 subjects (age range 35-64 years), found that the prevalence of HT was 45.1%, the prevalence of awareness of HT was 44.5%, the proportion of aware patients treated 71.9% and the proportion of patients with HT treated and controlled 15.5%.…”

The present study evaluated the prevalence of hypertension (HT) and its possible relationships with various risk factors in a representative sample (n ¼ 2884) of the adult population (418 years old) of Galicia, a region of Spain. Subjects were selected by a two-step cluster sampling procedure from the Galician public health service database, which covers more than 95% of the population (2.7 million inhabitants). The overall prevalence of HT, defined as BP 4140/90 mm Hg and/or current treatment with antihypertensive medication, was 25.5%, higher in men (31.1%) than in women (20.7%). Of the hypertensive subjects 50.6% were aware of the HT; of these, 72.0% were receiving treatment and 36.4% were treated and controlled. The prevalence of HT increased with age and was higher in subjects from urban areas than rural areas and higher in subjects with low educational level. Surprisingly, people with low educational level more frequently showed awareness of HT than people with high education level. Increased body mass index was related to increased prevalence of HT and close associations were observed between HT and cardiovascular diseases. Our data also show a linear upward trend in blood pressure from normal glucose metabolism to diabetes mellitus. Surprisingly, the prevalence of HT among people with known diabetes was higher than among people with undetected diabetes, which may indicate poor control of HT in diabetic subjects.

“…30 High blood pressure status awareness, treatment and control rates are comparatively higher and range between 26-43%, 34-42% and 12-16%, respectively among Caucasians. 39,40 Recent data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys in the Unites States, however, showed higher rates of hypertension awareness (78%), treatment (68%) and control (64%). 31 Blood pressure control rates are also obviously higher in a population than in hospital-based studies 41,42 as the latter tend to select more drug adherent hypertensives.…”

Prevalence, associated factors and relationship between prehypertension and hypertension: a study of two ethnic African populations in Northern Nigeria

To determine the prevalence and relationship between prehypertension and hypertension, we studied 782 ethnic Hausa and Fulanis (men, 409; women, 373) aged 38.9 ± 13.9 years recruited by multistage cluster sampling. Demographic, anthropometry, metabolic and JNC VII-based blood pressure categories were obtained and analysed using univariate and multivariate models. The prevalence rates of prehypertension and hypertension were 58.7% (men 59.2%, women 58.2%) and 24.8% (men 25.9%, women 23.6%), respectively. Only 16.5% of the population had JNC VII defined optimum blood pressure. Compared to hypertension, prehypertension had earlier onset (second versus third decade) and peak (fourth versus fifth decade) of life. The peak and trough prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension, respectively were observed in the 5th decade of life. Obesity, abnormalities of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance were the major factors associated with prehypertension and hypertension. Multivariate analysis identified obesity and impaired glucose tolerance as independent predictors of hypertension. Of those with hypertension, 13.9% were aware of their high blood pressure status of which 85.7% were commenced on treatment and 12.5% achieved blood pressure control. Overall, 1.5% of the study population had blood pressure o140/90 mm Hg. It is concluded that less than 20% of people of Hausa and Fulani ethnicities had optimum blood pressure. These are predominantly in their second decade of life suggesting that rise in blood pressure begins early in this population. The fifth decade of life may represent a period of transition from prehypertension to hypertension.

“…Turkey is a developing country and hypertension prevalence in the adult population has been reported as 31.8% in Turkey. 10 The general population of Turkey is 73 722 988 according to the 2010 census, with individuals aged 18 years or older constituting 69.3% of the population. Accordingly, the estimated number of hypertensive individuals in Turkey is approximately 16.2 million.…”

Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in Turkey (the PatenT study) in 2003

Abstract: PatenT data indicate that hypertension is a highly prevalent but inadequately managed health problem in Turkey. There is an urgent need for population-based strategies to improve the prevention, early detection and control of hypertension.
