CAMPOS-NONATO, Ismael et al. Prevalence, diagnosis and control of hypertension in Mexican adults with vulnerable condition. Results of the Ensanut 100k. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2019, vol.61, n.6, pp.888-897. Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/10574.
Objective:
To describe the prevalence of hypertension (HBP) in adults with vulnerability, the percentage of them with previous diagnosis and the proportion that had adequate control.
Materials and methods:
Blood pressure was measured in 7 838 adults who participated in the Ensanut 100k. Those who self-reported the diagnosis of HBP or had systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥80mmHg were classified as hypertensive. Controlled blood pressure was considered when SBP was <130mmHg and TAD <80mmHg.
Results:
The prevalence of hypertension in adults with a vulnerability condition was 49.2%, of which 54.7% did not know had hypertension. Of the hypertensive patients who received pharmacological treatment (69.0%), 66.8% of them had blood pressure under control.
Conclusions:
Almost half of Mexican adults in vulnerable condition have HBP and of these more than half do not know that they have this disease. One third of hypertensive adults have inadequate control.
