Proportions with clinical hypertension (patients with hypertension diagnostic code[s], antihypertensive medication fills, or blood pressure measurements \u2265140\/90), undiagnosed hypertension, and untreated hypertension were calculated. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios for hypertension measures were presented by sex and by race and ethnicity, adjusting for demographics and comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">Among 1\u2009181\u2009007 veterans (mean age, 33.5\u00b19.4\u2009years; 12.3% women), 44.9% had clinical hypertension, among them 49% undiagnosed and 26% untreated. Compared with men, women were associated with 5% lower risk of clinical hypertension (adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.93\u20130.96]) and untreated hypertension (adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.60\u20130.63]) but had higher risk of undiagnosed hypertension (adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.16\u20131.18]). Compared with White veterans, Black veterans were associated with 9% higher risk of hypertension but 26% lower risk of undiagnosed and 19% lower risk of untreated hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">Nearly half of post\u20109\/11 veterans met hypertension criteria, and among them 49% were undiagnosed and 26% were untreated.
