Figure 2. — Hypertension control among all persons with hypertension (top row) and among persons treated for hypertension (bottom row), by age group and sex, in US adults aged ≥25 years, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2016. A) Persons aged 25–44 years with hypertension. Among females, hypertension control was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. Hypertension control was significantly higher among females than among males in 1999–2004, 2005–2010, and 2011–2016. B) Persons aged 45–64 years with hypertension. Among females, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004 and higher in 2011–2016 than in 2005–2010. Among males, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. Hypertension control was significantly higher among females than among males in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016. There was a larger difference in hypertension control by sex in 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. C) Persons aged ≥65 years with hypertension. Among males, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. Among females, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. Hypertension control was significantly higher among males than among females in 1999–2004, 2005–2010, and 2011–2016. D) Persons aged 25–44 years with treated hypertension. There were no statistically significant changes. E) Persons aged 45–64 years with treated hypertension. Among females with treated hypertension, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004 and 2005–2010. Among males with treated hypertension, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. Among those treated, hypertension control was significantly higher in females than in males in 2011–2016, and the sex difference in hypertension control was significantly different in 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. F) Persons aged ≥65 years with treated hypertension. Among males and females with treated hypertension, hypertension control was significantly higher in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016 than in 1999–2004. Among those treated, hypertension control was significantly higher in males than in females in 2005–2010 and 2011–2016. The male-female sex difference in hypertension control among those treated was significantly smaller in 2005–2010 than in 1999–2004. Bars, 95% confidence intervals.
