Hypertension control in population-based (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES]) and health plan–based samples (file uploaded separately). Hypertension control is depicted for (1) NHANES 4-year blocks (2009–2012, 2013–2016, and 2017–2020), which represented aggregation of data for adjacent 2-year cycles; (ii) NHANES 2-year cycles for 2009 to 2018, and for 3 health plans for 2018 to 2020, namely, commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare (no data, 2019). The rate of decline appears greater when analyzing NHANES 2-year cycles than 4-year blocks. Moreover, the COVID-19–related decline in hypertension control across health plans in 2020 was not captured in NHANES as examinations ended in March 2020.
