The Prevalence and Levels of Awareness of Hypertension Among Young Adults

A study was conducted to understand the prevalence of hypertension and the levels of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in young adults in Kerala, India. The results of the study were as follows:

Among young adults, 11.2% had HTN and 33.3% had pre-HTN

Identifying HTN And Means to Control It Are Important And Should Be Specifically Targeted In Young Men

HTN: Hypertension, Hch: Hypercholesterolemia, BP: Blood pressure
