| Hypertension affects one in three adults in the United States and contributes to one out of every seven deaths and nearly half of all cardiovascular disease–related deaths in the United States. CDC analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) on the prevalence, treatment, and control of hypertension among U.S. adults aged ≥18 years.
Multivariate
analysis was performed to assess changes in prevalence of hypertension, use of pharmacologic treatment, and control of blood pressure between the 1999–2002 and 2005–2008 survey cycles. This report summarizes that analysis.

and 2005–2008

|
|
|
|
| High levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, can be treated effectively. CDC analyzed data from 1999–2002 and 2005–2008 to examine the prevalence, treatment, and control of high LDL-C among U.S. adults aged ≥20 years. Values were determined from blood specimens obtained from persons participating in the
National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative cross-sectional, stratified, multistage probability sample survey of the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population. This report summarizes the findings of the survey.
