Figure 2.

The prevalence of controlled hypertension, uncontrolled hypertension, and unmedicated hypertension within hypertensive male (a) and female (b) firefighters by age category as compared to the general population. Summation of the prevalence of controlled hypertension, uncontrolled hypertension, and unmedicated hypertension is equal to the prevalence of hypertension in each group. Summation of controlled and uncontrolled hypertension is equal to the prevalence of blood pressure medication usage. * Indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) between prevalence of hypertension in the combined firefighter sample versus the general population. P-Trend indicates a significant increase (p < 0.05) in prevalence of hypertension across age groups in the combined firefighter sample. HTN: hypertension.
