French Polynesia Hypertension Fact Sheet Summary

According to the data from 2014 and 2010 surveys:

• Burden of Hypertension (Adults, 18-64 years):
  • Prevalence: 46.8% of adults have hypertension (n = 44.1k out of 94.2k adults)
  • Awareness (Diagnosed): 30.9% of the adult population is aware of their hypertension (n = 13.6k)
  • Under Treatment: 23.7% of adults are under treatment for hypertension (typically with essential medicines)
  • Control Rate: Only 9.2% of adults with hypertension have their condition under control.

Key Findings:

1. High Burden:

   • Nearly half (46.8%) of the adult population has hypertension.
   • There is a significant gap between those with hypertension and those under treatment or with controlled blood pressure.

2. Age-Specific Prevalence:

   • Higher prevalence rates in older age groups and males (data for 2010).
   • Steeper increases seen in the older age ranges (45-64 years +).

3. Limited National Response Systems (2019):

   • Policy: No specific national salt reduction policy or hypertension target identified.
   • Medicine Availability: Some essential hypertension medicines were considered "generally available" in primary healthcare settings.

WHO Recommendations for Prevention & Control:

• Address modifiable risk factors (diet, physical inactivity, tobacco, alcohol, etc.), mainly through the use of technical packages like HEARTS (e.g., MPOWER, SHAKE, REPLACE).
• Improve hypertension identification, treatment and ongoing monitoring.
• Promote population-wide salt reduction.
• Work to increase treatment access and intensify therapy for uncontrolled cases.

Data Definitions:

• Hypertension: Defined clinically by blood pressure readings or based on diagnosis and prior treatment.
• Aware/Diagnosed: Includes diagnosis of raised blood pressure or hypertension.
• Under Treatment: Diagnosed and currently being treated with prescribed medication.
• Controlled: Diagnosed, under treatment, and blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg. (WHO definition).

Data Source Notes:

• STANDARDS: WHO clinical definitions for hypertension indicators used.
• IMPORTANT: Age-specific data for 2010 prevalence and cascade indicators are separate from the overall adult prevalence (46.8%). Age-banding data for 2010 is provided from the STEP survey.
