Prevalence,awareness,treatment,control,and treatment-control rates of hypertension among adults in Hubei province:a cross-sectional survey
Objective To investigate the prevalence,awareness,treatment,control,and treatment-control rates of hypertension among adults in Hubei province,and to provide a reference for the prevention and control of hypertension in this region.Methods Blood pressure measurement and face-to-face interview with the Chinese Adult Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance Survey Questionnaire were conducted during May-December 2020 among 21 973 adult(≥18 years)permanent residents recruited using stratified multistage random cluster sampling at 10 counties/districts/prefectures in Hubei province.The participants'information on hypertension prevalence,awareness,treatment,and control were collected and analyzed.Results Among the 20 286 participants included in the analysis,a total of 8 287 hypertensive subjects were identified and the complex-weighted prevalence of hypertension was 33.3% .Of the 8 287 hypertensive participants,3 807(43.1% after complex weighting)were aware of their hypertension,3 324(37.2% )were receiving treatment,and 828(9.2% )had their blood pressure under control.Of the 3 324 hypertensive participants receiving treatment for hypertension,828(24.6% after complex weighting)had their blood pressure under control.The complex-weighted prevalence of hypertension among all participants,the complex-weighted ratios of awareness,treatment,and blood pressure control of hypertension among hypertensive participants differed significantly by gender,age,and education(all P<0.05);the complex-weighted ratio of controlled blood pressure among the hypertensive participants receiving hypertension treatment differed significantly by education level(P<0.05).The complex-weighted ratios of awareness and treatment among hypertensive participants differed significantly by urban/rural residence(both P<0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension is high among community-dwelling adults in Hubei province,but the awareness,treatment,and control levels of hypertension are low among community-dwelling hypertensive adults.
