Forty-eight studies performed on 417,392 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Based on the results of random effect method (95 CI), the overall prevalence of pre-hypertension, hypertension, awareness, treatment, and control were 31.6 (95 CI 24.9, 38.3; I2=99.7), 20.4 (95 CI 16.5, 24.4; I2=99.9), 49.3 (95 CI 44.8, 53.8; I2=98.5), 44.8 (95 CI 28.3, 61.2; I2=99.9), 37.4 (95 CI 29.0, 45.8; I2=99.3), respectively.SummaryConsidering the increasing prevalence of pre-hypertension, hypertension, as well as more than half of the participants were unaware of their disease and were not treated, the results of the present study can help policy-makers to increase hypertension awareness, control, and treatment, especially in high-risk individuals.
