Increasing Prevalence of Hypertension: Rise From 1988 to 2000 (NHANES)
• Environmental factors ultimately related to race (e.g. socioeconomic disadvantage, less access to health care) play roles in causing and sustaining hypertension 1, 2 • Despite similar African heritage, Africans living in Africa or West Indies have much less hypertension than African Americans 3,4 • In rural Africa, hypertension prevalence is very low and blood pressure does not rise with age as it does in all ethnic groups in US 3

Ethnic/Racial Differences in Prevalence of Hypertension
• Blacks have a higher prevalence and incidence of hypertension than whites. Most studies in the United Kingdom and the United States report a higher prevalence and lower awareness of hypertension in black people than in white people.
