Hypertension care performance in Indonesia: evidence from three waves of nationally representative cross-sectional surveys

Por: Muharram · F. R. · Widyahening · I. S. · Danaei · G.
Objectives

To examine national trends and determinants of hypertension diagnosis, treatment and control in Indonesia, and to identify factors influencing the performance of hypertension care across three waves of national health surveys.

Design

Repeated cross-sectional analysis of three nationally representative health surveys (2013, 2018 and 2023).

Setting

Household-based, population-level surveys conducted across all provinces of Indonesia, representing primary healthcare settings.

Participants

Adults aged ≥18 years included in the 2013, 2018 and 2023 Indonesian National Health Research surveys (Riset Kesehatan Dasar and Survei Kesehatan Indonesia). Participants with complete blood pressure measurements and information on diagnosis and treatment were included; those with missing data were excluded. The weighted sample sizes were representative of Indonesia’s adult population by sex, age group and urban–rural residence.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Primary outcomes were hypertension prevalence, diagnosis, treatment and control rates. Secondary analyses assessed sociodemographic, economic and health system factors associated with each stage of the hypertension care cascade using multivariate logistic regression. All estimates were adjusted for survey design and population weights.

Results

Hypertension crude prevalence increased from 27.9% (95% CI 27.7% to 28.2%) in 2013 to 31.6% (95% CI 31.4% to 31.8%) in 2023. Diagnosis rates declined from 33.0% in 2013 to 24.1% in 2018, then slightly rose to 26.9% in 2023. Treatment rates doubled from 10.4% to 22.4% over the decade, corresponding to an estimated 10 million additional adults receiving antihypertensive therapy. However, control rates improved only modestly, from 2.3% to 4.2%, leaving over 95% of hypertensive adults with uncontrolled blood pressure. Women, urban residents and individuals in higher wealth quintiles had consistently better outcomes across all stages of care.

Conclusions

Indonesia faces a growing hypertension burden, with most cases being undiagnosed. Although treatment coverage has doubled over the past decade, control rates have remained stagnant, and disparities between wealth groups persist. Strengthening long-term management, follow-up and equitable care is essential to improve outcomes.

Prevalence, incidence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease in people with diabetes and hypertension, and the prognosis and kidney function decline in Indonesia: a multicentre cross-sectional study in primary care centres

Objectives

To examine chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence, incidence, prognosis, kidney function decline and associated risk factors among people with diabetes and/or hypertension.

Design

Cross-sectional multicentre study.

Setting

14 primary care centres across Jakarta.

Participants

Adults (≥18 years) with diabetes and/or hypertension were included. Exclusion criteria were receiving kidney replacement therapy, language barrier, cognitive impairments, refusal to consent and pregnancy. Participants were grouped into three categories: hypertension only, diabetes only and both.

Interventions

None.

Primary and secondary outcomes

Primary outcomes included CKD prevalence, incidence, number-needed-to-screen, KDIGO-based prognosis and annual kidney function decline. Secondary outcomes were risk factors for CKD, uncontrolled blood glucose, blood pressure and albuminuria.

Results

A total of 1263 participants were enrolled: 51% had hypertension, 17.6% diabetes and 31.4% both. Mean age: 57.1±10.2 years, 72.2% female and 76% obese. Renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors were prescribed in 32.3%, and only 1.2% used insulin despite a median glycated haemoglobin of 7.5% (IQR: 6.5–9.1). CKD prevalence was 14.8%, with an incidence rate of 9.1 per 100 person-years; number-needed-to-screen was 7. Based on KDIGO criteria, 48.9% were at moderate-to-very high risk of adverse outcomes. Baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate was 80.9 (SE=10.1), declining by 4.7 (SE=9.9) mL/min/1.73 m2 annually. CKD incidence was higher with albuminuria (OR 3.6, p=0.007) in the combined group; older age (OR 4.5, p

Conclusions

CKD burden is high among people with diabetes and hypertension. Nearly half were at elevated risk despite preserved kidney function, highlighting the need for targeted early screening.
