Ethnic minority populations (EMPs) are disproportionally affected by hypertension-mediated complications compared with European host populations (EHPs), which might be due to disparities in hypertension awareness, treatment and control. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare awareness, treatment and control rates among EMPs with EHPs.
