Nearly 116 million adults in US have hypertension and 75% are NOT controlled.

Did You Know?

Uncontrolled hypertension is the leading driver of the shorter life expectancy of Blacks in the United States and the most readily reversible driver of health inequity. Detroit was ranked as the city with the second-highest rate of hypertension with nearly 47% of all adults estimated to have hypertension.
