[Author's short message:There is a difference in the prevalence, awareness and control of hypertension in the 3 major ethnic groups, Chinese, Malay and Indian, in Singapore. The ethnic differences may be associated with genetics, sociodemographic variabilities such as educational levels, income status and cultural and lifestyle differences are certainly important factors that affect not just hypertension but also other risk factors and cardiovascular outcomes.(Tay JC)]

PMID: 33283971.

[Author's short message:The “triple burden” of aging population, hypertension,  and mental health problems making elderly in Asia more vulnerable. There is evidence of a bi-directional relationship between mental health and hypertension, which results in lower quality of life, lower rate of treatment adherence, and higher mortality among elderly individuals. It is essential to overcome known barriers and care for the elderly with high-risk factors in order to address these burdens.(Turana Y)]

[Author's short message: Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor found in Asia. Besides ethnicity that is associated with stroke incidence, both systolic, diastolic blood pressure, and blood pressure variability are  correlated with stroke incidence. Increasing awareness and treatment adherence to hypertension, the leading risk factor of stroke, became the main goal in several countries in Asia.(Turana Y)]
