Blood pressure of adults, 2016-2019.: CS82-625/2021001-1E-PDF
"Blood pressure has many implications for health and is a leading contributor to disability adjusted life years, a measure of overall burden of disease which combines years of life lost due to ill-health, disability or early death. High systolic blood pressure (SBP) and/or high diastolic blood pressure (DBP) can cause damage to blood vessels and can result in cardiovascular disease or events, such as heart attack or stroke, which are among the leading causes of hospitalization and death in Canada. Hypertension is a leading risk factor for death globally. Canada along with Germany, South Korea, and the United States have the highest rates of hypertension awareness, treatment, and control amongst high income countries"--Page 3.
