Outcome
Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension
Nearly half of Indonesian adults aged ≥40 years have hypertension, with less than a third aware of their condition and over 91% having uncontrolled blood pressure, highlighting a critical need for improved screening and management.
Limitations
- Self-reported information may have been subject to recall bias and varied by level of education and access to health care
- No information available on the type of antihypertensive medication, duration of usage, or adherence to treatment
- No information on whether participants adopted better diet and lifestyle practices for blood pressure control
- Complete case analysis may have introduced attrition bias, as individuals with incomplete data had significantly higher blood pressure levels
- Data on awareness, treatment, and control was restricted to those aged 40 and over, limiting insights into younger individuals
