Abstract

The incidence of hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) appear to be increasing in the Eastern Mediterranean (EM) region. To initiate efforts to establish national or regional programs for the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in EM countries, policy makers need more epidemiological data on HTN and DM. This study was undertaken to assess the current extent of HTN and DM prevalence and to identify the degree of awareness, treatment and control of HTN and DM.
