HypAwa.Age_Sex HypAwa GroupedBar None by Age and Sex, Utah, Percentage of Adults 2021 M_F AgeGrpSurv18 PercentSign -1 Doctor-diagnosed hypertension is based on the answer to the question: "Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you have high blood pressure?" Response options are: "Yes", "No", "Yes but females told only during pregnancy, and "Told borderline high or pre-hypertensive." Women who report having hypertension only during pregnancy and individuals who are told they are borderline high are considered as having answered "No." In 2016, Utah BRFSS modified its methodology for age adjustment to increase the precision of the estimate. Data in IBIS charts have been updated back to 2011 forward to reflect this change. With this change, age adjustment for Utah is more consistent with both the U.S. and other states using IBIS. In general, high blood pressure prevalence increases with age. Utah males have higher rates of high blood pressure than females in every age category. For adults aged 65 and over, the rates of hypertension for males and females were similar. Updated 10-27-17 E. Zamora Updated 10-27-2020 T.
