Presentation description

The goal of this research is to gain more insight into the risk factors associated with developing high blood pressure, the prevalence of hypertension both diagnosed and undiagnosed, and the efficacy of current treatment in Trujillo, Peru. To do this we surveyed 51 people across Trujillo to get data about relevant risk factors, treatments, and rates of high blood pressure. As a result, we found that rates of high blood pressure may be higher than previously expected, among other findings.
