Regional differences in prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in Poland - comparison of two national multi-center health surveys: WOBASZ and WOBASZ II
Pronounced differences were observed in the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of arterial hypertension among voivodeships, highlighting the necessity of region-specific public health interventions and resource allocation to effectively manage hypertension. Additionally, changes observed over the decade from 2003/04-2013/14 highlight evolving epidemiological trends and demonstrate the impact of such interventions on hypertension management.
