Catalogue summary

Comparable national surveys from twenty countries show roughly thirty-percent hypertension prevalence among Armenians aged 35–49 and especially low diagnosis, treatment, and medication control in Armenia alongside Albania, Iran, and Turkey.

Why this matters

The standardized country estimates identify a concrete Armenian noncommunicable-disease treatment gap while preserving the international benchmark needed to interpret it.
