SE = Standard error
HTN = Hypertension
Age-adjusted HTN control rates were calculated using the subpopulation of persons who have high blood pressure(age groups of 18-39, 40-59, 60-74 and 75+ years)
Age-adjusted HTN control rates were calculated using the subpopulation of persons who have high blood pressure(age groups of 18-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+ years): Healthy US (20yrs +)
Age-adjusted HTN control rates were calculated using the subpopulation of persons who have high blood pressure(age groups of 18-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+ years)

Recommended Definition for hypertension = Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication, averaging all blood pressure measurements
RD = Recommended definition
Defined as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg or taking medication or ever been told that they have hypertension
Defined as SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg or taking medication or told two or more times that they have hypertension
Excluding first blood pressure measurement, if there were two measurements exclude the first measurement and if there were all three measurements average the second and third measurement.
