Blood pressure and cholesterol control in hypertensive participants with hypercholesterolemia: results from the Polish multicenter national health survey WOBASZ II

Abstract

Comorbid hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were observed in one‑third of the Polish population (included in WOBASZ II study). Only 5.4% have both risk factors controlled. After adjustment for covariates, female sex, nonsmoking, comorbid CVD or diabetes, the frequency of medical visits, and high level of education appeared to increase the proportion of controlled hypertension or hypercholesterolemia.
