Population
11,517 urban adults aged 35 to 79 years in southwestern China were surveyed to assess the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension.
O
Outcome
Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension
The prevalence of hypertension in urban southwestern China is high (38.4%), while rates of awareness, treatment, and control remain alarmingly low, highlighting a critical need for public health interventions.
Limitations
- As a cross-sectional study, the findings cannot be used to establish a conclusive cause-and-effect relationship between risk factors and hypertension.
- The study was conducted in urban areas of Chengdu and Chongqing and did not include rural and small cities, so results may not be representative of the entire region.
- Cross-sectional design cannot establish a conclusive cause-and-effect relationship between risk factors and hypertension
- Conducted only in urban areas of Chengdu and Chongqing, so results may not be representative of rural and small cities in southwestern China
