| dc.description.abstract | HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (BP) IS THE LEADING RISK FOR DEATH AND DISABILITY GLOBALLY ACCORDING TO THE 2010 GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE STUDY "In 2010, hypertension in Sub-Saharan Africa was the leading risk for death, increasing by 67% since 1990. Hypertension was estimated to cause more than 500,000 deaths and 10 million years of life lost in 2010 in Sub-Saharan Africa. It was also the sixth leading risk for disability (contributing to more than 11 million disability-adjusted life years).3 In Sub-Saharan Africa, stroke, the major clinical outcome of uncontrolled hypertension, has increased 46% since 1990 to become the fifth leading risk for death. | en_US |
