Hypertension Summary for Micronesia (Federated States of) Chuuk

Burden of Hypertension (2016):

• Adult population aged 18-69: 110,215.
• Hypertension prevalence: 14% (approximately 9,200 people).
• Awareness (diagnosed): 4,300 (46.8% of those with hypertension).
• Under treatment: 2,700 (29.4%).
• Controlled: 1,500 (16.1%).

National Systems Response (2019):

• No specific national targets for reducing salt/sodium consumption or hypertension prevalence.
• Essential hypertension medicines, including Thiazide Diuretics, ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, Calcium Channel Blockers, and Beta Blockers, were reported as generally available in primary health care facilities.
• Blood pressure measurement was available and reported as "generally available" in public sector primary health care.

WHO Recommendations for Hypertension Prevention and Control:

• Address modifiable risk factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco, alcohol consumption, and overweight/obesity.
• Utilize WHO technical packages (e.g., MPOWER, ACTIVE, SHAKE, REPLACE, HEARTS) to reduce hypertension prevalence and improve control.
• Improve identification, treatment, and treatment intensification of hypertension cases using evidence-based protocols.
• Track blood pressure control rates and population prevalence.
• Global targets emphasize increasing awareness, treatment, and control through multisectoral interventions.

Trends and Additional Data:

• Trends in uncontrolled hypertension prevalence among adults aged 18+ show an increase over time, with higher rates from 2000 to 2025 projections.
• Age and sex-specific breakdowns in 2016 indicate higher awareness among females than males, and disparities in control rates vary by age group.
