Burden of Hypertension in Benin (2015): Approximately 26.4% of adults, or about 1.4 million people, had hypertension. Estimated cases were 0.21 million. Awareness was around 24.8% (0.13 million diagnosed), less than half of those with hypertension. Treatment rate was low at about 6.3% (0.03 million under treatment), and only 3.1% (0.0053 million) were controlled. Key risk factors included high salt consumption and other modifiable behaviors.

National Systems Response (2019): Benin had policies to reduce salt consumption and essential hypertension medicines were accessible in primary healthcare facilities, but implementation gaps existed. National targets aim for a 25% relative reduction in hypertension prevalence by 2025 and a 30% reduction in mean population salt/sodium intake by 2025.

WHO Recommendations for Hypertension Prevention and Control: Emphasize addressing population-level risk factors like unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and obesity. This includes improving hypertension identification through evidence-based protocols, scaling up treatment with appropriate medicines (Thiazide Diuretics, ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, Calcium Channel Blockers, Beta Blockers), tracking blood pressure control rates, and strengthening health systems via technical packages like WHO HEARTS.

Hypertension Trends: Data shows a decreasing trend in uncontrolled hypertension prevalence among adults aged 18+ from 2000 to 2015 and projected decreases up to 2025. Age and sex breakdowns from 2015 data indicate higher prevalence and lower control rates in older age groups and males.

Definitions and Data Sources: Definitions for hypertension include blood pressure readings (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg) and self-reported doctor diagnosis with treatment. Data from 2015 STEPS survey and 2019 National County Capacity Survey were used, supported by WHO recommendations and national targets for hypertension reduction.
