Post-COVID shifts and disparities in hypertension-related mortality in the United States
Purpose
This study examines trends in hypertension-related mortality in the U.S. before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing demographic and regional disparities.
Methods
We used CDC WONDER’s Provisional Multiple Cause of Death database (2018–2023) to analyze age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) for hypertension (ICD-10: I10–I15). We calculated percentage changes across three periods: pre-COVID (2018–2019), during COVID (2020–2021), and post-COVID (2022–2023), stratifying by age, sex, race/ethnicity, and region.
Results
Hypertension-related AAMRs increased by 33.4 % from pre- to during COVID (193.5–258.2 per 100,000) and remained 28.1 % above pre-pandemic levels post-COVID. Mortality rose across all demographics, with men experiencing a 34.1 % increase and younger adults (25–44 years) experiencing the highest rise (42.1 %). Hispanic individuals saw the largest increase (49.8 %) but also the sharpest post-pandemic decline (17.8 %). Regional disparities persisted, with the South having the highest increase (37.2 %) and the smallest drop (1.5 %).
Conclusions
Despite a modest decline post-pandemic, hypertension-related mortality remains elevated, with persistent disparities by sex, age, race, and region. Targeted interventions are needed to address hypertension management and reduce mortality in high-risk populations.
期刊介绍:
The journal emphasizes the application of epidemiologic methods to issues that affect the distribution and determinants of human illness in diverse contexts. Its primary focus is on chronic and acute conditions of diverse etiologies and of major importance to clinical medicine, public health, and health care delivery.
