Two bar graphs compare CVD event prevention in adults. Graph A: Adults not taking antihypertensives; Graph B: Adults taking them. Each graph shows 'No. of CVD events prevented' for men, women, and overall, segmented by age groups: 45-64, 64-74, and >=75 years.

Thanks to @Surgeon_General Jerome Adams, who visited campus to discuss @UABSOM’s hypertension research, @UAB_CWRH’s preventable hypertension-related maternal mortality research, & @uabSOPH’s research on the high rates of uncontrolled BP among U.S. adults with hypertension.
