High Blood Pressure to Reach Global Epidemic Proportions by 2025
Contributed by William Angelos | 14 January, 2005 04:09 GMT

“The magnitude of the burden of hypertension needs not only an increase in awareness, treatment and control of this condition, but also concerted efforts that target primary prevention."
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often associated with the excesses the world's richer countries, but in the next two decades, it is expected to soar in developing nations by an astronomical 80%. New research suggests that three quarters of the world’s population with high blood pressure will be in developing regions by 2025.
The proportion of the world’s adult population with high blood pressure is predicted to increase from a quarter to a third in the next twenty years, totaling over 1.5 billion, conclude authors of a study published in this week’s issue of The Lancet.

No. 1 Mortality Risk Factor

High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for mortality and increases a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease and kidney disease, say the authors. The prevalence of high blood pressure in various regions of the world has been previously reported, but this is the first study to estimate the total worldwide figure.

Accurate estimates of the worldwide prevalence of this condition are an essential source of information for planning of health services, the authors note. Measurement of the global burden of hypertension will allow public health and policy makers to assign sufficient priority and resources into its management and prevention.

1.5 Billion in 2025

Jaing He, New Orleans, Louisiana-based Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, with colleagues pooled data from 30 population-based studies, published from January 1, 1980, to December 31, 2002, involving over 700,000 people from different regions of the world.

The investigators found that the total number of adults with high blood pressure in 2000 was 972 million; 333 million resided in economically developed countries and 639 million lived in developing countries. They predicted that the number of adults with high blood pressure will increase by about 60% to reach a total of 1.56 billion in 2025. The prevalence of high blood pressure is set to increase by 24% in developed countries.

Cardiovascular Disease Epidemic

“The global burden of high blood pressure supports predictions of worldwide epidemic of cardiovascular disease," comments Dr. He. "During the past century, such disease has changed from minor cause of death and disability to one of the major contributors to the global burden of disease. Cardiovascular diseases are now responsible for 30% of all deaths worldwide," he notes.

“High blood pressure is an important health issue not only because of its high frequency but also because it is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and kidney disease," Dr. He explains.

Effective Interventions

"Interventions that have proven effective include weight loss, reduced salt intake, moderating alcohol consumption, potassium supplementation, modification of eating habits, and increased physical activity,” he says.

“The magnitude of the burden of hypertension needs not only an increase in awareness, treatment and control of this condition, but also concerted efforts that target primary prevention. Changes in lifestyle of the general population would result in a lower prevalence of high blood pressure,” Dr. He concludes.
