Haggart RC, et al. - Given that young adults have been identified to have lower hypertension control rates vs older adults, researchers assessed if and how sociodemographic factors account for hypertension control among young adults with regular primary care access. They retrospectively analyzed 3,208 patients (aged 18–39 years) who met clinical criteria for an initial (incident) hypertension diagnosis in a large, Midwestern, academic practice from 2008-2011. They excluded those with a prior antihypertensive medication prescription. The investigators identified sex disparities, being unmarried, and non-English primary language as important barriers to hypertension control in this study population. Findings suggested that interventions tailored to sociodemographic characteristics could offer some improvement in hypertension control in this population.
