The World Health Organisation’s Survey of Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) provides nationally representative data for the health and wellbeing of people aged 50 and over in South Africa and five other countries. This presentation examines SAGE data with particular reference to hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control among older people. It considers the social determinants of these health outcomes, and pays particular attention to the potential effects of old age grants in South Africa.
