We participated in BP screening in Malaysia in conjunc- tion with the May Measurement Month 2017 (MMM17), a global initiative by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) aimed at screening more individuals for earlier detection of hypertension. A nationwide screening of adults aged 18 was carried out through health campaigns at clinics, hospitals, during family day events, and charity runs from 1 April 2017 to 31 May 2017 in 42 centres. We used the detailed protocol provided by ISH for data collection. A total of 4116 individuals were screened during MMM17. After multiple imputation, 32.4% (n1⁄41317/4059) had hypertension. Out of this, 63.9% (842/1317) of those with hypertension were on treatment. Of individuals receiving antihypertensive medication with an imputed BP, 59.5% (n1⁄4496/834) of them had controlled BP. MMM17 was the largest organized BP screening campaign undertaken by health profes- sionals in Malaysia. This study identified that 32.4% of screened individuals had hypertension and 59.5% individu- als with treated hypertension had achieved BP control.
