- W3082395256 abstract "Abstract Elevated blood pressure (BP) is one of the leading risk factors for death and disability globally. It is also an important global health challenge because of its high prevalence and resulting morbidities. Albeit, a substantial number of people who have hypertension are either oblivious of it, not treated, or being managed but remain uncontrolled. May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global initiative led by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) with the goal of increasing awareness of high BP and serving as a spur to establish screening programmes worldwide. An opportunistic cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged ≥18 years was carried out in May 2018. Measurement of BP and collection of relevant health information were performed according to a standardized protocol for MMM. Screening sites were set up in churches, mosques, health facilities, pharmacies, recreational parks, sports facilities, shopping centres, marketplaces, universities, workplaces, and community centres across four regions of Ghana. A total of 6907 participants were screened during MMM 2018. After multiple imputation, 2354 (34.1%) had hypertension. Of individuals not taking antihypertensive medications 1526 (25.1%) were hypertensive of whom 48.4% were aware of having it. Also, of individuals taking antihypertensive medications 432 (52.2%) had uncontrolled BP. Data obtained from this project demonstrates that a significant number of people with hypertension are unaware of having it, are untreated, or are on treatment but remain uncontrolled. It also highlights the effectiveness of BP screening campaigns as a tool to identify persons with elevated BP." @default.
