A Call to Action: Insights into Hypertension Prevalence and Management in an Urban Sub-Saharan African Population

Hypertension in Yaoundé represents a major public health concern, driven by age, socioeconomic disparities, and unhealthy lifestyle factors. The low treatment rates reflect systemic healthcare barriers. Comprehensive, culturally sensitive interventions are urgently needed to improve awareness, prevention, and management. Future research should focus on the longitudinal impacts of targeted public health strategies.

Abstract

Hypertension in Yaoundé represents a major public health concern, driven by age, socioeconomic disparities, and unhealthy lifestyle factors. The low treatment rates reflect systemic healthcare barriers. Comprehensive, culturally sensitive interventions are urgently needed to improve awareness, prevention, and management. Future research should focus on the longitudinal impacts of targeted public health strategies.
