High prevalence but lack of awareness of hypertension in South Africa, particularly among men and young adults
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in South Africa (SA) and high blood pressure (BP) is the primary risk factor. However, hypertension prevalence is high, BP control is poor and CV events occur at a younger age than in Europe or America. Increasing screening, raising awareness...

However, hypertension prevalence is high, BP control is poor and CV events occur at a younger age than in Europe or America. Increasing screening, raising awareness and improving management of hypertension are critical to prevent CVD in SA. May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global initiative of the International Society of Hypertension aimed at raising awareness of high BP. As part of the MMM campaign, in SA (2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021), BP measurements and a cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged ≥ 18years were performed. Of 11,320 individuals (age 36.6 ± 16.8years) screened, 29.7% had hypertension (systolic BP/diastolic BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg or antihypertensive medication use) and the prevalence was higher (
