Trends in Hypertension Diagnosis and Self-Reported Cases: A Retrospective Analysis of National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Database.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHypertension is a major public health issue, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Understanding trends in hypertension diagnosis and self-reported cases can help inform strategies for prevention and management.
objectiveThe objective of this study is to evaluate the trends in hypertension diagnosis and self-reported cases in the United States (U.S.) through the use of National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data (2019-2023). In particular, the study analyzes the changes in the prevalence rates across the major demographics (race, age, and gender), socioeconomic (social vulnerabilities, education, and income) and geographical factors through the use of statistical modelling. This study seeks to recognize the key determinants that shape such trends and evaluate their implication with regard to targeted interventions and public health policies.
methodData from the NHIS (2019-2023) were examined, focusing on trends in hypertension prevalence based on demographic factors such as age, gender, race, nativity, and social determinants of health (e.g., social vulnerability, employment status, education level, and family income).
resultHypertension prevalence among U.S. adults remained consistently high. Age-adjusted rates were 27.0% in 2019 and increased slightly to 27.5% in 2023. Males showed higher hypertension rates (28.3% in 2023) compared to females (26.7%). Among age groups, the highest rates were observed in older adults: 54.3% for those aged 65-74 and 62.7% for individuals 75 years and older in 2023. Racial disparities persisted, with Black adults having the highest hypertension prevalence at 34.8% in 2023, while Asians had the lowest at 22.3%. Hypertension rates also varied with socioeconomic factors: individuals with lower income (28.4% for those below 100% Federal Poverty Level (FPL)) and lower educational attainment (40.5% for those without a high school diploma) had higher prevalence rates. Social vulnerability and employment status also influenced hypertension trends, with higher rates in individuals with high social vulnerability or non-employment.
conclusionHypertension remains a persistent health issue, particularly among vulnerable populations. Targeted interventions are needed to address these disparities and reduce the burden of hypertension in the U.S.
