Armenia Hypertension Fact Sheet Summary

Core Content

This document provides an overview of the burden of hypertension in Armenia, including prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates among adults aged 18+ as of 2016, and highlights the national response and targets for hypertension prevention and control as of 2019.

Key Statistics (2016)

• Total Population: 2,936,147
• Adult Population with Hypertension: 723,500 (35.8%)
• Uncontrolled Hypertension: 675,700 people (93.4% of those with hypertension)
• Aware (Diagnosed): 225,700 people (31.2% of those with hypertension)
• Under Treatment: 167,100 people (23.1% of those with hypertension)
• Controlled: 47,700 people (6.6% of those with hypertension)

Hypertension Cascade by Age and Sex (2016)

Trends in Uncontrolled Hypertension Prevalence

• The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension has decreased over time.
• Past trends and projected linear trends show a decline, though specific data is not detailed.
• Global targets are not explicitly met, as the prevalence remains above the desired levels.

National Systems Response (2019)

• Policy Availability: A policy to reduce population salt/sodium consumption is available.
• Medicine Availability: Essential hypertension-related medicines are reported as "generally available" in primary health care facilities.

National Targets

• A 10% reduction in excessive salt consumption is targeted by 2020.

WHO Recommendations for Hypertension Prevention and Control

• Address Prevalence: Reduce modifiable risk factors such as unhealthy diets (excessive salt, high saturated fat and trans fats, low fruit and vegetable intake), physical inactivity, tobacco and alcohol use, and overweight/obesity.
• Use Technical Packages: WHO MPOWER, ACTIVE, SHAKE, REPLACE, and HEARTS can support these efforts.
• Control Hypertension:
  • Improve and expand identification and treatment using evidence-based protocols.
  • Intensify treatment for uncontrolled cases and ensure access to medicines.
  • Track blood pressure control rates in clinical settings and measure population prevalence.

Definitions

• Population with Hypertension: Individuals with SBP ≥ 140 mmHg, DBP ≥ 90 mmHg, or those diagnosed with hypertension and treated in the past two weeks.
• Aware (Diagnosed): Individuals with hypertension who have been informed by a health worker of their condition.
• Under Treatment: Individuals with hypertension who are being treated with prescribed medication.
• Controlled: Individuals with SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg, and who are aware and under treatment.
