Trends in hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in the Thai population, 2004 to 2020
Hypertension prevalence in Thailand has remained high over the past 15 years. Despite universal health coverage, hypertension awareness has not improved and blood pressure control has decreased in the past five years. An urgent and concerted public health response is needed to improve diagnosis and control of hypertension to prevent avoidable cardiovascular disease.
