TL;DR
Data shows the community-based blood pressure screening effectively identifies hidden hypertension and supports early intervention to reduce future stroke risk, with significantly higher hypertension prevalence among males and older adults.
Abstract
Hypertension remains the leading modifiable risk factor for stroke, but many affected individuals remain undiagnosed or inadequately controlled. This cross-sectional community-based screening study evaluated 1,000 adults during World Stroke Day 2025 in Rajkot, Gujarat, using standardized blood pressure measurements. Hypertension prevalence was 34.2%, of which 75.1% were previously undiagnosed, while only 36.5% of known hypertensive individuals had controlled blood pressure. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 135.1 ą 17.9 mmHg and 86.8 ą 11.1 mmHg, respectively, with significantly higher hypertension prevalence among males and older adults (p<0.001). Thus, data shows the community-based blood pressure screening effectively identifies hidden hypertension and supports early intervention to reduce future stroke risk.
This study reveals a high prevalence of hypertension among adults attending Jadu Hospital, with advancing age being the strongest predictor and the urgent need for comprehensive public health strategies focusing on early detection, effective treatment, lifestyle modification, and regular follow-up, particularly among o...

BACKGROUND
Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke, yet the adequacy of preventative hypertension care in routine clinical practice remains suboptimal, potentially representing missed opportunities for stroke prevention. We evaluated the association between hypertension care delivery and...

Although hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular complications, real-world blood pressure (BP) control in primary care and the role of hypertension specialists remain incompletely characterized. We evaluated BP control and associated factors using the Japan Medical Association Database of Clinical Medicin...

Over one-third of adults in England had hypertension, yet only half of affected individuals were detected and half of those treated achieved blood pressure control, highlighting the need for population-wide prevention strategies alongside targeted treatment of individuals at high cardiovascular risk.

AIMS
Preeclampsia is associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet systematic approaches to identify those requiring intensified prevention are lacking. We aimed to characterise these women and identify subgroups at particularly high risk of later chronic hypertension or CVD.
