Factors associated with blood pressure control amongst adults with hypertension in Yaounde, Cameroon: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Only one out of three patients has their blood pressure controlled. The results of our study suggest that good adherence to treatment are important factors for tight blood pressure control in primary care. Further identification of patients at risk of non-adherence to treatment and poor blood pressure control can lead to targeted interventions to reduce hypertension related morbidity and mortality in this setting.
