Hypertension treatment cascade among men and women of reproductive age group in India: analysis of National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-2021).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Only a proportion of adults with hypertension are diagnosed and receive recommended prescriptions despite the availability of inexpensive and efficacious treatment. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of different stages of hypertension treatment cascade among the reproductive age groups in India at the national and state levels. We also identified the predictors of different stages of the hypertension treatment cascade.

Methods

We used the nationally representative data from National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5. We included all the males (15-54 years) and females aged 15-49. Socio-demographic factors, anthropometric measurements, habits, comorbid conditions, and healthcare access stratified the stages of the hypertension treatment cascade among hypertensives. W
