  1. aFor all calculations we used centers as the primary sampling units in the survey design and used probability weights
  2. b Prevalence rate is calculated by dividing people with HTN to the total population
  3. c Awareness is calculated by dividing people who are aware of their HTN into the total number of people with HTN
  4. dTreatment is calculated by dividing people who have received antihypertensive drugs into people who are aware of their HTN
  5. e Control is calculated by dividing people with normal HTN who have been treated with antihypertensive drugs over the total number of people treated with antihypertensive drugs
