Factors Associated With Hypertension Control in US Adults Using 2017 ACC/AHA Guidelines: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Factors and trends associated with hypertension control (BP < 130/80 mm Hg) and mean blood pressure (BP) among hypertensive adults (BP ≥1 30/80 mm Hg or medicated for hypertension).

Method

Data on 22,911 hypertensive US adults from the 1999-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Results

For men, hypertension control prevalence increased from 8.6% in 1999-2000 to 16.2% in 2003-2004 (P < 0.001), and continued the increasing trend afterwards to 23.2% in 2011-2012 (P < 0.001) and then plateaued. For women, hypertension control prevalence increased from 1999-2000 to 2009-2010 (10.8-26.3%, P < 0.001) and then plateaued. For men with hypertension, systolic BP decreased from 1999-2000 to 2011-2012 (135.7-132.8 mm Hg, P < 0.001) and then increased to
