关于这个话题我们已经知道了什么？高血压患病率随着年龄的增长而增加，男性高于女性，非西班牙裔黑人高于其他种族/族裔群体；美国东南部和阿巴拉契亚地区的患病率一直较高。这份报告增加了什么内容？对2017年行为风险因素监测系统数据的分析发现，大约三分之一的美国成年人报告患有高血压，估计75%的高血压患者报告使用抗高血压药物。这些因素的流行程度因州而异，通常在东南部和阿巴拉契亚州最高。这对公共卫生实践有什么影响？以多学科团队为基础的策略，教育患者，长期保持对话，识别危险因素，可以为更好的血压控制提供干预机会，并可以减少美国高血压意识、治疗和控制方面的差异。
What is already known about this topic?Prevalence of hypertension increases with increasing age and is higher among men than women and among non-Hispanic blacks than among other racial/ethnic groups; prevalence has been consistently higher in the Southeastern and Appalachian regions of the United States.What is added by this report?Analysis of 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data found that approximately one third of U.S. adults reported having hypertension, and an estimated 75% of those reporting having hypertension reported using antihypertensive medication. The prevalence of these factors varied widely by state and was generally highest in the Southeastern and Appalachian states.What are the implications for public health practice?A multidisciplinary team-based strategy working to educate patients, maintain dialogue over time, and identify risk factors can provide intervention opportunities for better blood pressure control and could reduce disparities in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control across the United States.
