Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>An estimated 46% of people with hypertension, high blood pressure, worldwide are unaware that they have the condition, according to WHO.<\/p>\n

An estimated 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years across the globe suffer from hypertension \u2013 two-thirds live in low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n

While 42% of adults with hypertension are diagnosed and treated, the disease can be brought under control in 1 out of 5 adults (21%).<\/p>\n

People with hypertension may not feel symptoms, so the only way to know is to get their blood pressure checked. It can be serious if not treated.<\/p>\n

Hypertension, a major cause of premature death worldwide, is usually treated with low-cost drugs.<\/p>\n

The disease can be reduced by eating a healthy diet, losing overweight, physical activity, and quitting tobacco.<\/p>\n

Hypertension has increased in recent years.<\/p>\n

The number of people with hypertension doubled to 1.28 billion between 1990-2019, while 720 million people are not receiving the treatment they need.<\/p>\n

In addition, while the probability of hypertension in men is 37.6%, this rate is around 33% in women.<\/p>\n

Africa has the highest rate of hypertension (27%), whereas the Americas have the lowest percentage (18%).<\/p>\n
