Malawi has participated in MMM since 2017. A 2017 STEPwise Survey conducted in Malawi among 4187 participants found that 65.2% had never had their BP measured before, 26.8% had their BPs measured but not diagnosed, 3.9% were diagnosed but not within the last 12\u2009months, and 4.1% were diagnosed within the last 12\u2009months. An opportunistic cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged 18 and above was carried out in May and June 2019. All BP measurements, definition of hypertension and statistical analysis followed the standard MMM protocol. The screening took place in Nkhatabay, Lilongwe, and Blantyre. A total number of 9723 participants were screened with a mean age of 42.0 (SD 16.6) years. Of these 8444 (86.8%) had never had their BP measured within the last 12\u2009months, 2559 (26.3%) had raised BP, 2169 (23.2%) of those with raised BP were not on treatment whereas 390 (4.0%) were on treatment. The results showed that many of the participants had not had their BP checked in the past year. There is a significant need to expand BP screening opportunities within Malawi for early detection of hypertension.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/suab041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]],"date-time":"2021-05-24T06:15:48Z","timestamp":1621836948000},"page":"B95-B97","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["May
