The hypertension screening campaign in Albania was carried out during the period 1\u201331 May 2019 in 30 sites in many districts of the country. Overall, 19\u00a0154 participants aged \u226518\u2009years were included (approximately 68% of these were women), with an overall mean age of 47.0\u2009\u00b1\u200915.3\u2009years. Blood pressure (BP) was measured with OMRON sphygmomanometers (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan). Hypertension was defined as systolic BP \u2265140\u2009mmHg, or diastolic BP \u226590\u2009mmHg, or on treatment for hypertension. Self-reported data consisted of height and weight, pre-existing conditions, including smoking status and alcohol consumption. Overall, the proportion of participants with hypertension was 38.6%. Less than two-thirds (64.7%) of hypertensive individuals were aware of their condition. Also, less than half (48.3%) of participants on antihypertensive medication had controlled BP (&amp;lt;140\/90\u2009mmHg). The most sizable correlations of high BP were with known hypertension status, use of antihypertensive medication, and obesity. The MMM campaign contributes to routine hypertension screening in Albania. Hence, health professionals and policymakers in Albania should act on the findings of MMM screening campaigns and continue its support as a valuable tool for early detection of hypertension in the general population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/suab015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]],"date-time":"2021-05-24T06:15:58Z","timestamp":1621836958000},"page":"B6-B8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["May Measurement Month 2019: an analysis of blood pressure screening results from Albania"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Gentiana","family":"Qirjako","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"},{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Rr. \"Aleksander Moisiu\", No. 80, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iris","family":"Mone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Beaney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imperial Clinical Trials Unit, Imperial College London, Stadium House, 68 Wood Lane, London W12 7RH, UK"},{"name":"Department of Primary Care and Public Health, Imperial College London, St Dunstan\u2019s Road, London W6 8RP, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imperial Clinical Trials Unit, Imperial College London, Stadium House, 68 Wood Lane, London W12 7RH, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xheladin","family":"Dra\u00e7ini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neil R","family":"Poulter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imperial Clinical Trials Unit, Imperial College London, Stadium House, 68 Wood Lane, London W12 7RH, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albana","family":"Fico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"},{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Rr. \"Aleksander Moisiu\", No. 80, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alban","family":"Ylli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"},{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Rr. \"Aleksander Moisiu\", No. 80, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rudina","family":"\u00c7umashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Public Health, Rr. \"Aleksander Moisiu\", No. 80, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enver","family":"Roshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Genc","family":"Burazeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Rr. \u201cDibres\u201d, No. 371, Tirana, Albania"},{"name":"Department of International Health, School CAPHRI (Care and Public Health Research Institute), Maastricht University, P.O.
