HTN severity defined by lowest of 3 BP measurements and classified as Controlled (BP <140/90 mm Hg), Grade 1 (BP 140–159/90–99 mm Hg), Grade 2 (BP 160–179/100–109 mm Hg), Grade 3 (BP ≥180/110 mm Hg). Rows represent baseline HTN severity, and columns represent year 3 HTN severity; both baseline and year 3 BP measurements were conducted at community health campaigns, and, thus, measurement was independent of engagement with clinical care.

BP, blood pressure; HTN, hypertension.
