Highlights gaps in hypertension awareness and control in Xi'an; leaves open whether national efforts have improved outcomes since 2013.

Structured PICO

Population

8,193 adults (aged ≥18 years) in Xi'an, China, recruited using a multiple-stage sampling method. Mean age 41.0±16.1 years, 49.8% male.

Outcome

Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension

The prevalence of hypertension in Xi'an is high (21.4%) with suboptimal rates of awareness, treatment, and control, highlighting the need for targeted public health strategies.

Limitations

Cross-sectional survey, which made it difficult to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between risk factors and prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension.
Family history of hypertension and dietary factors were not included in the study.
