Hypertension Burden in Georgia:

• In 2016, 37.2% of the adult population (aged 18+) had hypertension, with only 25.2% having controlled it.
• Key figures: 60% aware (diagnosed), 51.1% under treatment, but low control rate.
• Uncontrolled hypertension prevalence increased over time from 2000 to 2015.

Age and Sex Variations:

• Age-specific data shows higher prevalence and better control in older age groups, with age adjusting standardized estimates indicating trends.
• Males had higher mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, especially in older ages compared to females.

Trends and Projections:

• The prevalence and trend data project that hypertension control is an ongoing issue without significant changes grossing up.

National Responses and Targets:

• In 2019, Georgia aimed for a 25% reduction in hypertension prevalence by 2020 and a 5% annual decrease.
• Efforts included policies for salt reduction and availability of essential hypertension medicines.

WHO Recommendations:

• Focus on reducing risk factors like excessive salt, unhealthy diets, and improving hypertension screening, treatment, and medication access.

Data Definitions:

• Definitions for "Aware," "Under Treatment," and "Controlled" are based on doctor diagnosis, treatment history, and blood pressure measurements.
• Data sources include the 2016 STEPS survey and National County Capacity Survey for NCDs.
