    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Hypertension is a significant global health concern.
    • Elevated blood pressure often remains undiagnosed, increasing complication risks.
    • Community-based studies are crucial for understanding hypertension prevalence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension in a mixed community.
    • To analyze hypertension incidence in hospitalized patients, focusing on age groups.
    • To identify potential gaps in public awareness regarding high blood pressure.

    Main Methods:

    • Casual blood pressure measurements were taken in a community sample (adults >20 years).
    • Records of hospitalized patients with hypertension and/or its complications were reviewed.

  • Data analysis focused on prevalence, incidence, and demographic factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Approximately 2% of the community participants were unaware of their elevated blood pressure.
    • A high incidence of hypertension was observed in hospitalized patients within the 40-50 year age bracket.
    • The study identified a segment of the population with undetected hypertension.

    Conclusions:

    • A notable percentage of individuals remain unaware of their hypertension, underscoring the need for enhanced screening programs.
    • The 40-50 age group represents a critical demographic for hypertension management among hospitalized patients.
    • Public health initiatives should prioritize increasing awareness and early detection of high blood pressure.
