Thorpe, PhD, MPH; Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH Background—Hypertension-related risk in urban areas may vary from national estimates; however, objective data on prevalence and treatment in local areas are scarce. We assessed hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control among New York City (NYC) adults. Methods and Results—The NYC Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES), modeled on the national HANES, was conducted in 2004 with a representative sample of noninstitutionalized NYC residents 
20 years of age. Hypertension outcomes were examined with interview and examination data (n
1975). Multiple logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with control among adults with hypertension. We found that 25.6% of NYC adults had hypertension. Blacks had a higher prevalence than whites (32.8% versus 21.1%, P0.001), as did Hispanics (26.5% versus 21.1%, P0.05). Foreign-born residents who had lived in the United States for 10 years had lower rates than those who had lived in the United States longer (20.0% versus 27.5%, P0.05). Among adults with hypertension, 83.0% were diagnosed, 72.7% were treated, and 47.1%
