Abstract
The prevalence of arterial hypertension (HTN), which is one of the most important risk factors (RF) for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), is still increasing, which represents a global problem for world health, because for many decades CVD have occupied a leading position in the structure of mortality worldwide. This article reviews the main epidemiological studies available by the end of 2023, which analyzed various indicators of HTN both in Russia and around the world. We aimed at the presenting time trends in the prevalence of HTN. We also analyze the main RF for HTN and sex differences, because the prevalence of AH is known to be higher in men than in women in Russia, and special attention is paid to indicators such as adherence to therapy, its effectiveness and HTN control.
