NOTES: High blood pressure was defined as having measured high blood pressure, regardless of medication use. Hypertension was defined as having measured
high blood pressure (systolic pressure of greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure of greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg) or currently taking
antihypertensive medication. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is high blood pressure among those with hypertension. Overall estimates are age adjusted; age-
specific estimates are crude. See data table for Figure 11.
