摘要
A worldwide screening initiative called May Measurement Month is held every year with the goal of raising both public and individual awareness of checking blood pressure (BP) and its control. A total of 11 366 volunteer adults (>= 18 years) were screened in Pakistan. The mean age of the study population was 47.1 +/- 13.2 years and 83.8% were male. Of the 6615 (58.2%) participants with hypertension, 69.1% were aware and 4233(64.0%) were on antihypertensive medication. Of all participants on antihypertensive medication, 41.9% had controlled BP (140/90 mmHg). Of participants with hypertension, only 26.8% had controlled BP. Of the 7133 participants not on antihypertensive medication, 2382 (33.4%) were found to be hypertensive. In Pakistan, the proportion of hypertension and uncontrolled BP remains high, suggesting a widespread lack of adopting healthy lifestyle choices, sufficient healthcare facilities, awareness of checking their BP, and also inadequate management of hypertension.
