Optimizing hypertension management in China: care cascade insights and individual determinants from a national survey

Our study results confirm that hypertension remains a major public health challenge in China, with its high prevalence and persistently low diagnosis, treatment, and control rates, both in the general population and across diverse demographic and socioeconomic subgroups. To address this burden, China should pay greater attention to young hypertensive adults by supporting their screening and early diagnosis. In addition, efforts should be made to strengthen therapeutic concordance among all hypertensive patients and to implement public health measures that promote healthy diets and physical activity, particularly among overweight and obese individuals. Expanding access to a broader range of antihypertensive medications, including novel agents, will also be essential for improving blood pressure control nationwide.

Abstract

Our study results confirm that hypertension remains a major public health challenge in China, with its high prevalence and persistently low diagnosis, treatment, and control rates, both in the general population and across diverse demographic and socioeconomic subgroups. To address this burden, China should pay greater attention to young hypertensive adults by supporting their screening and early diagnosis. In addition, efforts should be made to strengthen therapeutic concordance among all hypertensive patients and to implement public health measures that promote healthy diets and physical activity, particularly among overweight and obese individuals. Expanding access to a broader range of antihypertensive medications, including novel agents, will also be essential for improving blood pressure control nationwide.
