May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global campaign set up in 2017 to raise awareness of high BP. In 2018, we aimed to expand the campaign by including a greater number of centres to increase awareness. Nine islands participated in MMM 2018. Volunteers (\u226518\u2009years) were recruited through opportunistic sampling at a variety of screening sites. Each participant had three BP measurements and completed a questionnaire on demographic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Hypertension was defined as a systolic BP \u2265140\u2009mmHg and\/or diastolic BP \u226590\u2009mmHg, or taking antihypertensive medication. In total, 98.0% of screenees provided three BP readings and multiple imputation using chained equations was used to impute missing readings. A total of 8008 individuals (mean age 40.4\u2009years; 68.5% female) were screened. After multiple imputation, 2666 (33.3%) individuals had hypertension, of whom 74.8% were aware of their previous diagnosis and 55.8% were taking antihypertensive medication. Of those on medication, 39.1% were controlled and of all hypertensives, 21.8% were controlled. We detected 44.2% of individuals with untreated hypertension and 60.9% of treated individuals were inadequately treated. The Cape Verdean population is ageing and consequently cardiovascular disease is increasing, with hypertension being an important risk factor. Corrective actions need to be taken by the government. MMM is an ideal initiative to reach the public by raising awareness of this major cardiovascular risk factor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/suaa020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,31]],"date-time":"2020-08-31T17:01:43Z","timestamp":1598893303000},"page":"H30-H32","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["May Measurement Month 2018: an analyses of blood pressure screening results from Cabo Verde"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Vanda","family":"Azevedo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cabo Verde College of Cardiology -
