Unaware Reference
Told 8.04 (6.56–9.86)
Not told Reference
2 Hypertensive-treated
Treated 1.99 (1.51–2.60)

3 Hypertensive-controlled

a

The association of the frequency of HBPM with told to do HBPM and the hypertension categories adjusted for demographic characteristics, family income-to-poverty ratio, availability of health insurance, health care utilization, diagnosed diabetes, and body mass index.

b

Frequency: none; 1–11 times in the past 12 months was considered less than once a month; 12–51 times in the past year was considered monthly; and ≥52 times in the past year was considered weekly or more frequent.
