Hypertension Prevalence

Hypertension remains an important public health challenge in the United States because it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Effective vital sign management has been shown to decrease the incidence of stroke, attack, and coronary failure (1–3). This report presents updated estimates (4) for the prevalence and control of hypertension within us for 2015–2016. Trends in hypertension prevalence and control from 1999–2000 through 2015–2016 also are presented.
Overall, the prevalence of hypertension among adults was 29.0% and was similar among men (30.2%) and women (27.7%).
The prevalence of hypertension increased with age, from 7.5% among adults aged 18–39 to 33.2% among those aged 40–59, and 63.1% among those aged 60 and over. A similar pattern was found among both men and ladies.
Men had a better prevalence of hypertension than women among adults aged 18–39 (9.2% compared with 5.6%, respectively) and 40–59 (37.2% compared with 29.4%, respectively), but men had a lower prevalence of hypertension than women among adults 60 and over (58.5% compared with 66.8%, respectively).
