High undetected hypertension and low risk awareness in Vietnam suggest education gaps; leaves open whether interventions improve control in similar populations.
Cross-Sectional (n=357)
A descriptive screening study in Vietnam found a high prevalence of elevated blood pressure and poor cardiovascular risk knowledge, highlighting the need for community health education.
Duong et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk (n=357). Cardiovascular risk factors and hypertension was evaluated on Prevalence of elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors. Health screening of 357 Vietnamese volunteers revealed that nearly one-third had blood pressure >139/89 mmHg, accompanied by high dietary salt use and very low knowledge of cardiovascular risks.
