Multivariate analysis of hypertension in general US adults based on the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline: data from the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999 to 2016.

CONCLUSION: Based on the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, almost half of the US adult population has hypertension. The suboptimal number of people with controlled blood pressure is pervasive in all subgroups and warrants greater efforts in prevention, as well as more effective treatment.
