Screening for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes in Mexican adults is low. While diagnosis and treatment have improved, metabolic control remains a challenge, indicating a need for integrated cardiovascular risk factor management.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular epidemiology
  • Public health surveillance
  • Chronic disease management

Context:

  • The study analyzes data from the 2022 National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut 2022) in Mexico.
  • Focuses on adults aged 20 years and older to assess key cardiovascular risk factors.
  • Examines screening, prevalence, prior diagnosis, treatment, and control of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes.

Purpose:

  • To describe screening, prevalence, prior diagnosis, treatment, and control estimates for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes in Mexican adults.
  • To identify associated factors for screening, prior diagnosis, treatment, and control of these conditions.
  • To provide updated epidemiological data for public health interventions.

Summary:

  • Screening rates for these three conditions are below 15%.

  • Prevalence is 18% for hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, and 27.8% for hypertension, with about half diagnosed.
  • Pharmacological treatment has increased, but less than half of patients are under metabolic control.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the need for integrated screening of cardiovascular risk factors.
    • Emphasizes the necessity to increase screening percentages and diagnosed cases.
    • Underscores the importance of improving pharmacological treatment and achieving better metabolic control.
