Epidemiology of Hypertension in a Typical State-Level Poverty-Stricken County in China and Evaluation of a Whole Population Health Prevention Project Intervention.

Conclusions: The overall prevalence of hypertension in the studied area was lower than the national average of rural areas. The health management model of "government-led joint efforts of three levels of medical institutions (village, town, and county) with active participation of local village communities" improved the management outcomes of hypertensive patients and fulfilled the latest advocacy of the prevention and control of chronic diseases by the United Nations. This model can be considered an effective model for healthcare management practice in similar situations. PMID: 31929896 [PubMed]
