Abstract
Abstract The May Measurement Month (MMM) campaign was conducted in Thailand in 2023 to raise awareness of raised blood pressure (BP). Adults aged ≥18 years were recruited through convenience sampling at voluntary healthcare centres throughout Thailand. Three seated BP readings were taken on each participant, and a questionnaire collected information on demographics, lifestyle factors, and comorbidities. Hypertension was defined as a systolic BP ≥140mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90mmHg or being on BP-lowering medication. Controlled BP was defined as being on BP-lowering medication with a BP <140/90mmHg. Multiple imputation was used to estimate missing BP readings. In total, 14,390 were screened, with a mean age of 52.7 years and 60.2% were female. Of all participants, 6,377 (44.3%) had hypertension, of whom 5,137 (80.6%) were aware, and 5,066 (79.4%) were on antihypertensive medication. Of those on antihypertensive medication, 3,391 (66.9%) had controlled BP, and of all participants with hypertension, 53.2% had controlled BP. The MMM campaign in Thailand identified a substantial number of participants with untreated or inadequately treated hypertension. Strategies to deliver early and effective BP control must be emphasized.
