Profiling individuals living with hypertension in Saudi Arabia 2021: a nationwide descriptive study
Adults aware of and treated for hypertension in Saudi Arabia exhibit a high burden of behavioral risks and multimorbidity. These findings can guide targeted primary care screening, integrated chronic disease management, and population-level risk reduction programs (e.g., smoking cessation, weight control), with priority to older adults, individuals with lower educational attainment, and those with co-existing diabetes or dyslipidemia.
