Evaluating the Hypertension Cascade of Care in Adults in Urban Lao PDR: Evidence From the VITERBI Cohort Study
While HT prevalence in Lao PDR is lower than reported for other LMICs, more than 16% over the age of 40 years suffer from HT, and 60% of these cases are currently not controlled. Major policy efforts are needed to support this population and to prevent HT-driven excess mortality.
