The Link Between Hypertension and Stroke: Summary of Observational Epidemiological Studies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hypertension and Stroke

Part of the book series: Clinical Hypertension and Vascular Diseases ((CHVD))

Abstract

In this chapter, current data pertinent to hypertension and its risk of stroke are reviewed. The prevention and management of hypertension are major public health challenges. Despite the availability of therapies, it has been reported that even in developed countries, many patients with hypertension remain undetected or untreated. The 2009–2012 data from NHANES/NCHS in comparison to 2005–2006 data showed an increase of 4 % (from 78.7 to 82.7 %) of adult Americans with hypertension had awareness of their condition, 76.5% were under current treatment, and almost 9 % (45.4–54.1 %) had it under control (NCHS and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)). Data from the Framingham Heart study show that control rates of BP in men <60, 60–79, and ≥80 years of age were 38 %, 36 %, and 38 %, respectively. For women in the same age groups, they were 38 %, 28 %, and 23 %, respectively.
