Abstract

The work by Linares et al. provides valuable epidemiological, psychological, and social information on blood pressure control. In this letter, some key points are highlighted. Firstly, it is suggested to perform multivariate analyses that include variables such as comorbidities, type of medication, and time of diagnosis. Regarding blood pressure measurement in patients, it is recommended to use modern devices and identifying the 'white coat' phenomenon. Furthermore, lifestyle interventions that have been shown to effectively control blood pressure is proposed. These comments may be useful to the authors for future research in the field of arterial hypertension.
