Blood Preasure Lowering Treatment (n = 382).
| Blood Pressure |
Not on Treatment (n = 212) |
On Treatment (n = 170) |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 73 (34.4) | 25 (14.7) |
| Pre-Hypertension | 90 (42.5) | 65 (38.2) |
| Stage 1 HTN | 39(18.4) | 50 (29.4) |
| Stage 2 HTN | 10 (4.7) | 30 (17.7) |
Values are n, n (%), Normal = SBP < 120 mmHg & DBP < 80 mmHg, Pre-hypertension = SBP = 120–129 mmHg & DBP < 80 mmHg, Stage 1 HTN = SBP = 130–139 mmHg or DBP = 80–89 mmHg, Stage 2 HTN = SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg.
Abbreviations: SBP = Systolic Blood Preasure, HTN = Hypertension, DBP = Diastolic Blood Preasure.
