Uncontrolled hypertension, a common disorder, is associated with increased long-term risk of several serious conditions. Awareness of the health risks of uncontrolled hypertension is not well understood. We used data from a nationwide panel survey to assess the awareness of risk associated with uncontrolled hypertension, stratified by cardiovascular disease risk factors. Awareness of increased risk from uncontrolled hypertension was high for some outcomes (heart attack, heart failure, stroke), and low for others (kidney disease, dementia). Several disparities in awareness were found. Complementary clinical and public health interventions could be instituted to increase awareness and target people who are high risk.
未控制的高血压是一种常见疾病，与多种严重疾病的长期风险增加有关。人们对未控制的高血压的健康风险认识不足。我们使用全国性面板调查的数据，根据心血管疾病危险因素对与未控制的高血压相关的风险意识进行了评估。对某些结果（心脏病发作、心力衰竭、中风）的未控制高血压风险的认识较高，而对其他结果（肾病、痴呆）的认识较低。发现了一些认识方面的差距。可以采取补充的临床和公共卫生干预措施来提高认识，并针对高危人群。
