| Worldwide, 13.5% of global deaths have been attributed to high blood pressure (BP). The death attributable to high BP ranged from 4% in Sub-Saharan Africa to 35% in Europe and Central Asia. Mumbai Cohort Study demonstrated similar estimates for India, which is 7.9% deaths among male and 11.5% among women.
