摘要

Background

Hypertension (HTN) represents a significant public health concern, having reached epidemic proportions globally. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to derive pooled estimates for region-specific prevalence of hypertension in rural and urban areas of India, aiming to elucidate regional disparities.

Methods

A comprehensive search strategy identified relevant studies from databases like PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Shodhganga. Studies focusing on HTN prevalence (2011–2022), adult populations, and conducted in India were included, while those with a cross-sectional design and lacking essential data were excluded. Two reviewers independently extracted data, and quality assessment used the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies.

Results

A total of 112 studies met The inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of hypertension in India was 27.2% (95% CI: 23.2% – 31.3%; I2 = 99%, n = 112 studies). The highest prevalence was in the northern region (33.0%) (95% CI: 26.0% – 40.0%; I2 = 99%, n = 20 studies).

Conclusions

Hypertension represents a significant public health concern in India, with an estimated prevalence of one in four adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis contributes to the existing knowledge regarding hypertension in India and provides valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare professionals on the necessity of region-specific interventions for effective hypertension control and management.
