Abstract

The rising incidence of hypertension in the developing countries is an indication of changing lifestyles and an epidemiological transition with a shift from communicable to non-communicable diseases. Hypertension often goes undiagnosed and is frequently diagnosed accidentally or when there are complications. Raised blood pressure is a long-standing condition and needs lifestyle changes for both prevention and management. The Hypertension and Nutrition Core Group of IAPEN India aims at training the healthcare professionals and the community towards preventing, diagnosing and managing hypertension and following healthy lifestyles. It is imperative that the healthcare professionals be trained to encourage task sharing and task shifting in order to manage the rising burden of hypertension.

Keywords: Hypertension, Hypertension and Nutrition Core Group of IAPEN India, Lifestyle management in hypertension, Task sharing, Task shifting, diagnostic inertia in hypertension
