Hypertension management in transition: gains, gaps, and growing challenges in a high-altitude multi-ethnic region of China (2019–2024)
Substantial progress in hypertension management and health equity was observed in the area between 2019 and 2024. However, persistently low control rates and rising obesity highlight the need to enhance treatment quality and implement integrated cardiovascular risk reduction strategies. These findings provide important insights for chronic disease management in similar transitioning regions.
