It is estimated that 1 in 3 people worldwide have hypertension (including 1 in 3 Americans), and that 9 out of 10 people will become hypertensive at some point in their life.
In the United States, it is estimated that 32% of hypertensives are not aware of their condition, and only 50% of hypertensives take their medication as prescribed. Studies show that 65% of all diagnosed cases are not controlled.
68% of Americans believe hypertension is “not a serious health concern.”
