TL;DR: The overall prevalence and absolute burden of hypertension in 2000 and the global burden in 2025 were estimated to be about 1.56 billion (1.54-1.58 billion) and the number of adults with hypertension in 2025 was predicted to increase by about 60% respectively.

TL;DR: awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension have improved substantially since the 1976-1980 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey but continue to be suboptimal, especially in Mexican Americans.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Primary Prevention of Hypertension: Clinical and Public Health Advisory From the National High Blood Pressure Education Program
Paul K. Whelton,Jiang He,Lawrence J. Appel,Jeffrey A. Cutler,Stephen Havas,Theodore A. Kotchen,Edward J. Roccella,Ron Stout,Carlos Vallbona,Mary Winston,Joanne Karimbakas +10 more
TL;DR: Applying these approaches to the general population as a component of public health and clinical practice can help prevent blood pressure from increasing and can help decrease elevated blood pressure levels for those with high normal blood pressure or hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worldwide prevalence of hypertension: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Hpertension is an important public health challenge in both economically developing and developed countries and measures are required at a population level to prevent the development of hypertension and to improve awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in the community.

Blood pressure, stroke, and coronary heart disease: Part 2, short-term reductions in blood pressure: overview of randomised drug trials in their epidemiological context
Rory Collins,Richard Peto,Stephen MacMahon,Patricia R. Hebert,N H Fiebach,Kimberley Eberlein,Jon Godwin,Nawab Qizilbash,James O. Taylor,Charles H. Hennekens +9 more
TL;DR: A sufficiently high risk of stroke (perhaps because of age, blood pressure, or, in particular, history of cerebrovascular disease) may be the clearest indication for antihypertensive treatment.

TL;DR: The DBP results suggest that for the large majority of individuals, whether conventionally "hypertensive" or "normotensive", a lower blood pressure should eventually confer a lower risk of vascular disease.

Fetal and placental size and risk of hypertension in adult life.
TL;DR: For the first time, the intrauterine environment has an important effect on blood pressure and hypertension in adults and the highest blood pressures occurred in men and women who had been small babies with large placentas.
