Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To describe the prevalence, awareness and proportion of adults with an adequate control of hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Blood pressure was measured at 8 352 adults who participated in the Ensanut MC 2016. The adults who reported having diagnosis of hypertension or had systolic blood pressure values (TAS) ≥140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (TAD) ≥90mmHg were classified as hypertensive. Hypertension was considered controlled when blood pressure was TAS <140mmHg and TAD <90mmHg. RESULTS:The prevalence of hypertension was 25.5%. Of these, 40.0% were unaware of having high blood pressure. Of the hypertensive adults who had previous diagnosis of hypertension and receiving drug treatment (79.3%), 45.6% had blood pressure under control. CONCLUSIONS:A high percentage of adults are unaware of having hypertension and nearly half have inadequate control. The relevance of current programmes for diagnosing hypertension should be assessed, as well as the effectiveness of their control strategies. OBJETIVO:Describir la prevalencia de hipertensión arterial (HTA) en adultos, el porcentaje de ellos con diagnóstico previo y la proporción que tuvo un control adecuado. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS:Se midió la tensión arterial a 8 352 adultos que participaron en la Ensanut MC 2016. Se clasificó como hipertensos a quienes reportaron haber recibido previamente el diagnóstico de HTA, o presentaban cifras de tensión arterial sistólica (TAS) ≥140mmHg o tensión arterial diastólica (TAD) ≥90mmHg. Se consideró tensión arterial controlada cuando la TAS <140mmHg y la TAD <90mmHg. RESULTADOS:La prevalencia de HTA en adultos fue de 25.5%, de los cuales, 40.0% desconocían tener HTA. De los hipertensos que tenían diagnóstico previo de HTA y que recibían tratamiento farmacológico (79.3%), 45.6% tuvo tensión arterial bajo control. CONCLUSIONES:Un alto porcentaje de adultos desconocen tener HTA y de ellos casi la mitad tiene un control inadecuado. Debería evaluarse la pertinencia de los actuales programas de diagnóstico de HTA y la efectividad de sus estrategias de control.
