Background: Recent review of hypertension guidelines requires fresh updates of prevalence and control rates. Though retrospective analysis provided burden estimates, control rates were grossly misleading. We set out to update the prevalence and control rates of hypertension in the USA using contemporary NHANES data. Methods: Persons with mean systolic blood pressure (mSBP) ≥130 mmHg or mean diastolic blood pressure (mDBP) ≥80 mmHg or self-reported current use of antihypertensive medications were classified as hypertensives. Hypertensives on medications with mSBP |
