Introduction: Blood pressure is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease and plays an important role in the progression of stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and kidney failure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hypertension and its control in MASHAD cohort study.
Methods: This study was performed on the MASHAD cohort study. Subjects in this study were divided into three groups with normotensive, pre-hypertensive and hypertensive subjects. The significance level of the tests was considered less than 5%.
Results: In this cross-sectional study, 9704 individuals were recruited, of which 33.4% were healthy, 35% had pre-hypertension and 31.6% had hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in men under 40 years was 15.9% and it was more than women. Also, the frequency of hypertension in women but not in men increased with age. Of all patients with hypertension in this study, 58.5% were aware of their disease. This number was 43.4% in men and 66.6% in women. Hypertension was controlled in 24% of patients, 16.3% of men and 28.6% of women.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that more than one third of the study population had high blood pressure and more than one third had pre-hypertension. Also, more than half of the people were not aware of their blood pressure, and only 24% of those who were aware of their disease were able to control their disease.
