Figure 3. Age-Adjusted Trends in Hypertension and Diabetes Treatment and Control Among US Adults Aged 20 to 44 Years, 2009-2010 to 2017–March 2020.

Figure 3.

Nationally representative estimates of US adults aged 20 to 44 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2009 to March 2020. Whiskers indicate 95% confidence intervals.

aTreatment of hypertension was defined as a self-report of taking medications for blood pressure and was assessed among adults with hypertension (n = 1408). Treatment of diabetes was defined as a self-report of taking diabetes pills or insulin and was assessed among adults with diabetes (n = 631).

bControl was assessed among adults receiving treatment, consistent with prior reports (n = 693 for hypertension and n = 350 for diabetes).12,13 Hypertension was considered controlled if systolic blood pressure was <140 mm Hg and <90 mm Hg, diabetes was considered controlled if hemoglobin A1c was <7%.
