Blood pressure control among US adults improved until 2007-2008 but has recently worsened after 2013-2014, highlighting a concerning trend in cardiovascular risk factor management.
Declining BP control after 2013-2014 warrants clinical monitoring; leaves open causes and reversal strategies.
In a series of cross-sectional surveys weighted to be representative of the adult US population, the prevalence of controlled BP increased between 1999-2000 and 2007-2008, did not significantly change from 2007-2008 through 2013-2014, and then decreased after 2013-2014.
