Proportions and trends in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control in Korean adults aged 30 years and over

고혈압 인지율, 치료율, 조절률은 1998년 이후 지속 증가하다가 2007년 이후 상승폭이 다소 둔화되는 경향을 보였음. 2016년 기준 고혈압 인지율 및 치료율은 각각 68.9%, 65.0% 이었으며, 치료자의 조절률(70.8%)이 유병자 기준의 조절률(46.5%)보다 1.5배 높았음(그림 A).

Since 1998, the proportions of Korean adults (aged 30 years and over) who are aware of their hypertensive status, who get treated for their hypertension, and who have it controlled, all steadily increased. After 2007 however, the pace of increase slowed down as shown by the flattening shape of the graph below. In 2016, the proportions of hypertension awareness and treatment were 68.9% and 65.0%, respectively, and the proportion of controlled hypertension among treated population was 1.5 times higher than that among the entire hypertensive population (70.8% vs 46.5%) (Figure A).
