Adults globally (based on international surveys)
Rate of elevated systolic blood pressure (≥110-115 and ≥140 mm Hg), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and deaths associated with elevated SBPhard clinical
The global burden of elevated systolic blood pressure increased substantially from 1990 to 2015, affecting billions of adults and leading to increased mortality and disability.
In international surveys, although there is uncertainty in some estimates, the rate of elevated SBP (≥110-115 and ≥140 mm Hg) increased substantially between 1990 and 2015, and DALYs and deaths associated with elevated SBP also increased. Projections based on this sample suggest that in 2015, an estimated 3.5 billion adults had SBP of at least 110 to 115 mm Hg and 874 million adults had SBP of 140 mm Hg or higher.
