Age-Adjusted Hospitalization Rate due to Hypertension

This indicator shows the age-adjusted hospitalization rate due to hypertension, or high blood pressure, per 10,000 population aged 18 years and older. Cases with kidney disease combined with dialysis access procedure, and cases with a cardiac procedure are excluded.
Why is this important?
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a significant increase in blood pressure in the arteries. Many people with hypertension may not experience symptoms, even if their blood pressure is dangerously high. However, a few might experience severe headaches, dizziness, irregular heartbeats, and other symptoms. Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and a major cause of heart attacks, and if left untreated can lead to damage of the blood vessels and kidneys, vision loss, and angina. Many factors affect blood pressure, including salt intake, kidney health, and hormone levels. The risk for high blood pressure increases with obesity, diabetes, high salt intake, high stress levels, high alcohol intake, and tobacco use. According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 3 adults have hypertension with only half of these individuals having their condition under control.
