| مستخلص: | In 2018, the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance of Guatemala published the last update of the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and as in other low-income countries, the prevalence of NCD morbidity and mortality had risen. The prevalence of hypertension in Guatemala has been reported in a range from 18.7 to 22.7% which could be underestimated, because the country does not have an adequate statistical surveillance system. May Measurement Month (MMM) 2017, 2018, and 2019 in Guatemala was an opportunistic survey, which followed the methodology previously published. Blood pressure (BP) measurements were carried out in various locations, mainly hospitals and clinics (48.9%) or pharmacies (34.2%) in Guatemala City. In all patients, three BP measurements were taken after 5 min of rest and sitting in the correct recommended position. The mean of the second and third BP measurements was used for the analyses. Multiple imputation was used to impute the missing readings, based on the global MMM data. After multiple imputation, of all 3265 participants, 43.4% had hypertension. Of all participants with hypertension, 74.7% were aware of their diagnosis, 69.2% were on antihypertensive medication, and 63.1% had controlled BP (<140/90 mmHg). Of all those with hypertension, 43.6% had controlled BP. MMM is the largest hypertension survey ever carried out globally. The MMM results from Guatemala reported here provide complementary and strong data on the impact of hypertension in the country and help to make hypertension visible as a priority health problem, which requires urgent solutions.
