Abstract

A worldwide screening initiative called May Measurement Month is held every year with the goal of raising both public and individual awareness of checking blood pressure (BP) and its control. A total of 11 366 volunteer adults (≥18 years) were screened in Pakistan. The mean age of the study population was 47.1 ± 13.2 years and 83.8% were male. Of the 6615 (58.2%) participants with hypertension, 69.1% were aware and 4233(64.0%) were on antihypertensive medication. Of all participants on antihypertensive medication, 41.9% had controlled BP (140/90 mmHg). Of participants with hypertension, only 26.8% had controlled BP. Of the 7133 participants not on antihypertensive medication, 2382 (33.4%) were found to be hypertensive. In Pakistan, the proportion of hypertension and uncontrolled BP remains high, suggesting a widespread lack of adopting healthy lifestyle choices, sufficient healthcare facilities, awareness of checking their BP, and also inadequate management of hypertension.

2021 年五月测量月：巴基斯坦血压筛查结果分析。

每年都会举行名为 "五月测量月 "的全球筛查活动，目的是提高公众和个人对检查血压和控制血压的认识。巴基斯坦共有 11 366 名成人志愿者（≥18 岁）接受了筛查。研究对象的平均年龄为 47.1 ± 13.2 岁，83.8% 为男性。在 6615 名（58.2%）患有高血压的参与者中，69.1% 的人知道自己患有高血压，4233 人（64.0%）正在服用降压药。在所有服用降压药的参与者中，41.9%的人血压得到控制（140/90 mmHg）。在患有高血压的参与者中，只有 26.8% 的人血压得到控制。在 7133 名未服用降压药的参与者中，有 2382 人（33.4%）患有高血压。在巴基斯坦，高血压和血压未得到控制的比例仍然很高，这表明人们普遍缺乏健康的生活方式选择、充足的医疗保健设施、检查血压的意识以及对高血压的管理不足。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
