Prevalence, Awareness, Treatment, and Control of Hypertension in L ebanon

The prevalence and factors related to hypertension (HTN) treatment and control are well investigated in the Western world but remain poorly understood in the Middle East and in middle‐income countries such as Lebanon. In order to measure the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of HTN...

description The prevalence and factors related to hypertension (HTN) treatment and control are well investigated in the Western world but remain poorly understood in the Middle East and in middle‐income countries such as Lebanon. In order to measure the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of HTN in Lebanon, the authors measured blood pressure (BP) in 1697 adults. The prevalence of optimal BP (
