Hypertension Prevalence and Determinants in Urban Coastal Communities in Ghana
The coastal communities in Ghana are highly affected by hypertension with a remarkably high prevalence in women. Tailored public health strategies such as education on lifestyle modification, creation of recreational areas, use of telemedicine and mobile applications for monitoring, and follow-up may help to decrease the risk of hypertension and its complications in these communities.
